What Is Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting, also known as periodontal plastic surgery, is a dental procedure involving gum tissue transplantation to restore or enhance the gumline. It is commonly used to treat gum recession, where the gum tissue surrounding the teeth wears away, exposing the tooth roots. Gum grafting can help improve the aesthetics of your smile, protect tooth roots from sensitivity and decay, and prevent further gum recession.

At Alexandria Dental Spa, our experienced dentists utilize advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to perform gum grafting procedures with precision and care. We are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest dental care to restore gum health and enhance smiles.
