What is Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting is a periodontal procedure that restores receded gum tissue by transplanting healthy tissue to areas where gums have pulled away from teeth. This treatment covers exposed tooth roots, reduces sensitivity, and creates a more balanced, attractive gumline while protecting your teeth from further damage.
