GUM GRAFTING/ROOT COVERAGE
Gum Grafting for Healthy Gums and Teeth
At Gentle Touch, we understand that your oral health is important to you, and we’re here to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. If you have exposed tooth roots due to trauma, aggressive brushing, periodontal disease, or other conditions, a gum graft may be the solution you need to protect your teeth and enhance your overall dental health.
What is Gum Grafting?
A gum graft is a gentle surgical procedure designed to cover exposed tooth root surfaces with grafted oral tissue. This treatment not only helps protect your teeth but also restores the natural appearance of your gums.
Why is Gum Grafting Important?
Protection for Your Teeth:
Exposed roots can lead to sensitivity, decay, and even tooth loss. Gum grafting provides a protective barrier, helping to prevent further damage.
Enhanced Comfort:
If you’ve been experiencing discomfort or sensitivity due to exposed roots, gum grafting can alleviate these issues, allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods and activities without worry.
Improved Aesthetics:
Gum grafting can enhance the appearance of your smile by restoring the gumline, giving you a more balanced and youthful look.

What to Expect During the Procedure:
Caring Support:
Our experienced team will walk you through every step of the procedure, ensuring you feel informed and at ease. We prioritise your comfort and will address any concerns you may have.
Simple Steps:
During the gum grafting procedure, we will carefully take tissue from another area in your mouth and place it over the exposed roots. This tissue will heal and integrate with your gums, providing lasting protection.
