What Is Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces receded gum tissue around one or more teeth. This helps cover exposed tooth roots, reduce sensitivity, prevent further recession, and create a more natural gumline.

The most common types of gum grafts include:

• Connective Tissue Grafts – Using tissue from under the roof of your mouth
• Free Gingival Grafts – Surface tissue is taken from the palate
• Pedicle Grafts – Tissue is taken from nearby gum areas, ideal when surrounding tissue is healthy

Why Do Patients Need Gum Grafts?

Gum recession can be caused by:

• Brushing too hard
• Genetics
• Periodontal (gum) disease
• Teeth grinding or misaligned bite
• Smoking or poor oral hygiene

Gum grafting not only enhances aesthetics—it plays a vital role in protecting your teeth and preserving oral health.

Signs You May Need Gum Grafting

• Visible tooth roots
• Sensitivity to hot or cold
• Thin or receding gumline
• Frequent gum irritation
• Aesthetic concerns with your smile
