Recession/Gum Graft

A gum graft is a collective name for surgical procedures that aim to cover an exposed root surface with grafted oral tissue. Exposed roots are usually the result of gingival recession due to periodontal disease. 

Other common causes include aggressive brushing, trauma, tooth position and other anatomical factors. 

A few of the major benefits associated with gum grafting include reduced sensitivity, improved appearance with less root visible, and improved gum health.
