Why grafting is done
Receding gums can expose roots, increase sensitivity, and make teeth appear longer. Grafting helps restore coverage and protect the area.

Protecting your gums, supporting your smile
Gum grafting helps cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and support healthier gum contours when recession has affected comfort or appearance.
Comfort focused care
We plan treatment carefully, numb gently, and guide you through healing so the process feels calm, manageable, and well supported.
Healing and recovery
Healing takes time, and aftercare matters. We provide clear instructions to help protect the site and support a smoother recovery.
Health and aesthetics
In addition to improving comfort, grafting can create a healthier gum line and a more balanced appearance around the teeth.
Coverage for exposed roots and sensitive areas
Gum recession can happen from brushing habits, bite forces, periodontal changes, or natural anatomy. When roots become exposed, teeth may feel more sensitive and the area may be harder to protect. Gum grafting helps reinforce the site and improve long term support.
Signs you may need gum grafting
- Tooth roots that look exposed
- Sensitivity near the gum line
- Gums that appear to be receding
- Areas that feel delicate when brushing
If recession is getting worse or you are feeling increased sensitivity, early treatment may help protect the area before more support is lost.

How long does healing take?
Early healing happens over the first days to weeks, while full tissue maturation takes longer. We review what to expect based on your specific treatment site.
