Gingival Grafting is most often the ideal procedure to repair lost gum tissue from gum recession. When the gums recede, the root surface of the tooth is exposed. It is darker in color than the enamel of the tooth and is most commonly sensitive to cold food and drinks. It makes the teeth appear too long and darker at the gumline. The graft is most commonly either synthetic or harvested from a donor site in your own mouth. It will be surgically transplanted over the exposed root surfaces and over the next few weeks, it will integrate with your existing gum tissue. Once it is healed, it restores the lost gum tissue and returns your beautiful smile back to you.
