About Gum Grafting
Protect exposed roots
Gum graft surgery—also called a gingival graft or periodontal surgery—covers exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums. The procedure helps protect teeth from the damaging effects of recession, which may lead to sensitivity, tooth loss, and other concerns.
Health and appearance
In addition to protecting the tooth, grafting can improve the appearance of the gumline. Broadway Dental can evaluate the area and explain whether periodontal treatment is recommended.
Common questions.
What is gum graft surgery?
A gum graft, also called a gingival graft or periodontal surgery, places tissue over exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession.
Why treat gum recession?
Untreated recession can contribute to sensitivity and may place the affected teeth at greater risk. An exam can determine whether grafting is appropriate.
