Gum recession can expose the root of the tooth, leading to sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and changes in the appearance of your smile. π¦·β¨
This patient received a gum graft procedure, where healthy tissue is carefully placed over the recessed area to help restore the gumline and protect the tooth root. Over time, the tissue integrates and strengthens the area.
Benefits of gum grafting can include:
β¨ Reduced tooth sensitivity
β¨ Protection of exposed roots
β¨ Improved gum health
β¨ A more natural, balanced gumline
The bottom photo shows the healed result, with healthier gum coverage and improved tissue stability.
If youβve noticed your gums pulling away from your teeth, early treatment can help protect your smile for years to come. π©΅π
