Gum grafting
Gum grafting is a dental procedure that repairs and restores receding gums by transplanting tissue, usually from the roof of your mouth, to the affected areas. This technique helps protect the roots of your teeth from damage, reduces sensitivity, and improves the appearance of your gums. The procedure can involve taking tissue from a nearby area or using a tissue substitute. It's often performed to treat gum disease or damage, promoting healthier, more stable gum tissue and helping maintain your overall oral health.
