What is Gum Grafting
(Soft Tissue Grafting)?

Gum grafting, also known as soft tissue grafting, is a procedure used to treat receding gums. When the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, it can expose the roots, leading to sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and changes in the appearance of your smile.

During the procedure, a small amount of tissue is carefully added—usually from the roof of your mouth or a donor source, to cover the exposed areas and protect your teeth. This not only improves oral health but can also restore the natural look of your smile.
