What is Gum Grafting?
Gum grafting is a surgical procedure used to cover exposed tooth roots and rebuild receded gum tissue. It can prevent further gum recession, reduce sensitivity, and improve your smile’s appearance. At Dr. Patel Dentistry, we tailor grafting techniques—such as connective tissue, free gingival, or pedicle grafts—based on your unique needs.
