What Is Gum Grafting?
Gum grafting is a periodontal procedure designed to treat gum recession and restore both the health and appearance of your gums. Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue pulls back from the tooth, exposing more of the tooth’s surface or even its roots. This condition can lead to tooth sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and aesthetic concerns. There are two main types of gum grafting: free gingival grafts and connective tissue grafts. Free gingival grafts are typically used to thicken thin gum tissue, which strengthens the gums and protects them from further infection.
On the other hand, connective tissue grafts are used to cover exposed tooth roots, improving the contour of the gumline and providing protection to sensitive areas. Both types of grafts help to restore gum tissue, prevent further recession, and enhance the overall aesthetics of your smile. Gum grafting is an effective solution for improving oral health and creating a more comfortable, natural-looking smile by addressing both functional and cosmetic concerns related to gum recession.
