Gum Grafting / Soft Tissue Grafting
Periodontal Plastic Surgery / Mucogingival Surgery
Gum grafting is a procedure that involves taking gum tissue from one part of mouth and attaching it to another area where the gums have receded or are thinning. This helps to protect the tooth root and dental implants from damage and can improve the overall appearance of the gums.
Gum grafting is needed when the gum issues lead to tooth sensitivity, root cavities, and affect the appearance of the smile.
