A gum graft is a surgical procedure that involves taking a small piece of tissue from the roof of the mouth or another donor site and grafting it to the gums. This procedure is often used to treat receding gums, which can expose the roots of the teeth and make them more susceptible to decay and infection. Gum grafts can also be used to improve the appearance of the smile.
Gum grafts are typically performed by a periodontist, which is a dentist who specializes in the treatment of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. However, some general dentists may also be trained and experienced in performing gum grafts. It is important to consult with a qualified dentist to discuss whether a gum graft is right for you.
