Gum grafting becomes necessary when your gum tissue wears away, leaving tooth roots exposed and vulnerable. Common causes include aggressive brushing, genetics, age, and gum disease. This exposure can lead to sensitivity, tooth decay, and a less attractive smile. Our proven grafting technique rebuilds your natural gumline using healthy tissue.
The procedure involves using tissue from another area of your mouth to cover your exposed tooth roots. This shields them from temperature changes and decay. As your gums heal, they will form a strong bond with your teeth. This restores both comfort and appearance while preventing further recession.
Once your gums have healed, you may want to enhance your smile even further with cosmetic dentistry. Professional teeth whitening can brighten your smile, while veneers can transform the shape, size, and color of your teeth. Tooth bonding offers a quick solution for minor chips or gaps.
These treatments complement your restored gum health, creating a smile that’s both healthy and beautiful. Our team can help you explore which cosmetic options best match your goals, timeline, and budget. Your results will look natural and boost your confidence.

If your gums recede due to gum disease or other factors, your tooth roots can be exposed. This causes uncomfortable sensitivity to hot and cold substances. It also makes you more susceptible to dental decay and other problems and can even result in losing teeth. To avoid these issues, we can remove tissue from another part of your mouth and transfer it to your gums during a grafting procedure.
Gum grafts are worth it because they keep your teeth intact. You can avoid the cost and hassle of replacing lost teeth. Since you can’t get dental implants without healthy gums, your tooth replacement options would also be limited without a gum graft. A gum graft can also restore the appearance of a smile that has receding gums and exposed tooth roots.
Gum grafts are a surgical procedure that helps those who have experienced gum recession, often from advanced gum disease. Receding gums expose the roots of your teeth, which looks unattractive and also causes sensitivity. If not corrected, it can eventually result in the loss of teeth.
