Benefits of Gum Soft Tissue Grafting
Gum grafting addresses multiple oral health concerns while improving your smile’s appearance. Root coverage reduces tooth sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, making daily activities more comfortable. The procedure also prevents further recession by creating a thicker band of attached gum tissue around affected teeth.

- Protects tooth roots from decay and damage
- Creates a more uniform, attractive gum line
- Strengthens gum attachment to prevent future recession
