What is a Gum Graft Procedure?
Gum graft procedures are specialized oral surgeries designed to stop gingival recession, cover exposed tooth roots, and eliminate tooth sensitivity. By transferring healthy tissue—sourced either from the patient's own palate or through advanced biocompatible matrices—we can restore the natural protection of your teeth.
The health of your teeth and the underlying bone depends heavily on the presence of strong, healthy gum tissue. Whether caused by trauma, aggressive brushing, or periodontal disease, losing this tissue can now be effectively reversed.
Aesthetics and Function: "Pink Aesthetics"
Beyond health benefits, gum grafts play a vital role in smile design. Often referred to as "Pink Aesthetics," this approach focuses on the harmony between the gums, lips, and teeth. Harmonizing gum levels is essential for creating a balanced, healthy, and symmetrical smile that lasts a lifetime.
