Gum Grafts

Soft tissue grafts can be used to cover roots or develop gum tissue where absent due to excessive gingival recession. A soft tissue graft can reduce further recession and bone loss. In some cases, it can cover exposed roots to protect them from decay. This may reduce tooth sensitivity and improve esthetics of your smile.

 

When your mouth is healthy, your gums are snug against your teeth and the root doesn't show. Unfortunately, in some cases the gums have pulled away from the tooth and some of the root surface is exposed. This apparent lengthening of the teeth can really age a person's smile. If left uncorrected, the loss of protective gum tissue may also mean even more severe problems down the road.
