If your tooth roots are exposed due to gum recession, a gum graft can restore lost tissue, protect your teeth, and enhance your smile. Gum graft surgery helps prevent further recession and bone loss while improving both function and aesthetics.
How Does Gum Graft Surgery Work?
During the procedure, your dentist carefully takes healthy gum tissue from either your palate or a donor source and places it over the exposed root. This can be done for a single tooth or multiple teeth, helping to even out your gum line and reduce sensitivity.
Benefits of Gum Graft Surgery
✔ Prevents Further Gum Recession & Bone Loss – Helps protect your teeth and overall oral health.
✔ Covers Exposed Roots – Shields roots from decay, damage, and temperature sensitivity.
✔ Enhances Your Smile – Creates a fuller, healthier gum line for a more natural look.
✔ Improves Comfort & Confidence – Supports better oral function, making it easier to smile, eat, and speak without discomfort.
Whether you're considering a gum graft for health reasons or cosmetic enhancement, this procedure can help restore both the appearance and strength of your gums—giving you a healthier, more confident smile.
