Gum Grafting

What is a Gum Graft?

For patients with gum recession, often caused by periodontal disease, gum grafts can restore gum health and preserve the protective barrier surrounding the teeth.

How is Gum Graft Surgery Done?

If you are a candidate for gum grafting, your periodontist will administer a local anesthetic, and in some cases general anesthesia, to numb the affected area. Then, they'll take tissue from the roof of your mouth or healthy gum tissue in your mouth and graft it to the gum tissue that's receding.
