Gum Grafts
Protect your roots and restore healthy gum tissue.
A gum graft is a surgical procedure performed to treat gum recession — a condition where 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 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 performed under local anesthesia and recovery is generally well-tolerated. A gum graft not only stops the progression of recession but also improves the health and appearance of your gums.
Note for the website:Dr. Catherine Grenier, periodontist, offers consultations at our clinic for gum recession and periodontal disease cases.
