Gum Grafts

Restore Receding Gums and Protect Your Smile

Gum grafts are a periodontal treatment used to restore gum tissue that has receded due to gum disease, aggressive brushing, or natural changes over time. When gums recede, tooth roots become exposed, increasing sensitivity, risk of decay, and potential tooth loss if left untreated.

During a gum graft procedure, healthy tissue is placed over the affected area to protect exposed roots and encourage proper healing. At Palmetto Dental Studio, gum grafts are performed with a gentle, precise approach to improve comfort, restore gum health, and enhance the appearance of your smile. This treatment not only improves aesthetics but also helps protect your teeth and supporting bone structure long-term.

Gum grafts are an effective way to stabilize your oral health and prevent further gum recession.

Summary:
Gum grafts treat gum recession by restoring lost tissue, protecting exposed roots, reducing sensitivity, and improving the health and appearance of your overall smile.
