A gum graft is a surgical procedure used to treat gum recession (also called receding gums), a condition in which the gum tissue pulls back and exposes the root of the tooth. This can cause tooth sensitivity, increase the risk of root cavities and affect the appearance of your smile. Left untreated, recession can progress and threaten the long-term stability of the affected teeth.

The procedure involves taking a small amount of tissue from the palate, or using a tissue substitute, to cover the exposed roots. It is done under local anesthesia, and recovery is generally well tolerated. A gum graft not only stops recession from progressing, it also improves the health and appearance of your gums.

Dr. Catherine Grenier, periodontist, offers consultations at our clinic for gum recession and periodontal disease.
