Soft Tissue Grafting (gum grafting)

Soft Tissue Grafting

What is Gum Recession and How Can It Be Treated?

Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue around the teeth pulls back, exposing the tooth roots. This condition can lead to increased tooth sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, and, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. Gum recession may happen due to factors such as gum disease, aggressive brushing, genetics, or even natural aging.

At API, we specialize in soft tissue grafting to treat gum recession and restore both the health and appearance of your gums. This procedure covers exposed roots, improves the stability of your teeth, and enhances your smile’s overall appearance.

Why Gum Grafting Is Needed

When the gums recede, the tooth roots are left exposed, which can lead to increased sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, increased risk of root damage, and potential tooth loss.
