Gum grafting is a specialized procedure designed to address gum recession and improve the health and aesthetics of your gums. At Oxford Family Dental, we offer expert care to restore your confidence and protect your oral health.

Gum grafting, also known as a gingival graft, is a surgical procedure that replaces lost or receding gum tissue. By covering exposed tooth roots or strengthening thinning gums, gum grafting not only improves oral health but also enhances the appearance of your smile.

When is Gum Grafting Recommended?

Your dentist may recommend gum grafting in the following situations:

•Gum Recession: To cover exposed roots and prevent further tissue loss.

•Tooth Sensitivity: Caused by exposed roots.

•Thin or Weak Gums: To strengthen gum tissue and prevent future recession.

•Aesthetic Concerns: To enhance your smile by improving gum line symmetry.

•Preparation for Restorative Procedures: Such as dental implants or crowns.
