Gum Graft Surgery
A procedure for treating thinning gums or gum recession, covering exposed roots.
Gum graft surgery is a dental procedure for treating thinning gums or gum recession. Gum grafting covers exposed tooth roots and adds volume to your gum line, improving overall oral health. Recovery usually takes one to two weeks, but it may take longer.
Who needs to have gum grafting?
Our team of doctors will likely recommend gum grafting if you have gum recession. In many cases, receding gums are a symptom of severe gum disease, but people can also be genetically prone to thinning gums. You can also develop gum recession if you brush too aggressively.
Gum grafting has a good success rate and can reduce your risk of severe gum disease.
