Gum Grafting
If your dentist has detected that your gums have receded substantially, you may be referred to a periodontist for a gum graft. Gum recession occurs when the tissue surrounding each tooth pulls away, exposing more of the tooth or the tooth root. This exposure can cause significant damage to the supporting bone, in addition to causing tooth sensitivity. Gum recession happens over time, so you may not notice when it’s happening. If left untreated, gum recession will result in tooth loss. Gum grafting repairs this damage before it gets even worse.

Depending on your mouth’s unique needs, your periodontist will choose one of the following types of gum grafts:
