What is Gum Graft?
Grafting is a procedure used to replace or restore missing bone or gum tissue. A gingival graft; also called gum graft; is a generic name for any of a number of surgical periodontal procedures whose combined aim is to cover an area of exposed tooth root surface with grafted oral tissue. The covering of exposed root surfaces accomplishes a number of objectives:
Prevention of further root exposure.
Decreased or eliminated sensitivity
Decreased susceptibility to root caries
Improved cosmetic

Gum grafting is a procedure used to replace missing bone or gum tissue. Its main purpose is to cover an area of exposed tooth root surface with grafted oral tissue. This procedure will significantly decrease tooth sensitivity, protect and prevent root exposure which often leads to cavities and improves the cosmetic appearance of the gum.
In our clinics, gum grafting is performed by waterlase technology which will considerably reduce postoperative discomfort and promote faster healing.
