Soft Tissue Grafting
Rebuilding receded gums — smaller and more comfortable than you’d expect.
Soft Tissue Grafting
Why receding gums matter
When gums recede, they expose the tooth’s root — a surface never meant to face the world. Roots are sensitive to hot and cold, vulnerable to decay and wear, and receded gums make teeth look longer while quietly signaling deeper bone loss underneath.
Grafting restores the lost tissue: a small amount of tissue is placed over the exposed root, where it integrates and re-forms a healthy, protective gumline.
- Calms hot & cold sensitivity
- Protects roots from decay and wear
- Restores a natural-looking gumline
- Helps halt further recession
Gentler than it sounds
Most patients find grafting far easier than they feared — a numbed, precise procedure followed by a few days of soft foods. We’ll walk you through exactly what to expect, and sedation is available if you’d like it.
