Connective Tissue Gum Graft

A connective tissue gum graft is a common procedure used to treat gum recession. During this treatment, a small piece of tissue is taken from beneath the roof of the mouth and placed over the exposed root of the tooth. This helps restore the natural gumline, reduce tooth sensitivity, and protect the tooth from further damage. It also improves the appearance of the smile by creating a more even gum contour.
