What Is Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting, also known as a subepithelial connective tissue graft, is a periodontal procedure designed to rebuild and reinforce the gums. This gum tissue restoration treatment is essential for restoring lost gum tissue, preventing further recession, and enhancing the aesthetics of your smile.

Why Do You Need a Gum Graft?

Gum recession can expose the sensitive root surfaces of your teeth, making them more vulnerable to decay, infection, and damage. Common causes of gum recession include:

If left untreated, gum recession can lead to increased tooth sensitivity, cavities, and even tooth loss. Gum grafting restores gum tissue, ensuring long-term gum and tooth health.

Types of Gum Grafting Procedures

Depending on the severity of gum recession and individual patient needs, Dr. Daniel Reich offers several types of gum grafting procedures:

1. Connective Tissue Graft (Most Common)

  • A small piece of tissue is taken from the roof of the mouth.
  • The gum graft is placed over the exposed root and secured.
  • Ideal for patients with moderate to severe gum recession.

2. Free Gingival Graft

  • Tissue is removed from the palate and placed over the affected gum area.
  • Used when gums are thin and need reinforcement.
  • Prevents future gum recession.

3. Pedicle Graft (Best for Localized Recession)

  • Gum tissue is partially cut and moved over the exposed root.
  • The gum graft remains attached to maintain blood supply.
  • Best suited for patients with adequate gum tissue.

Each gum graft procedure is customized to fit your needs, ensuring the best results for your gum health and smile aesthetics
