Gum Grafting - Dublin, PA
Advanced Gum Treatments to Restore Function and Confidence
What Is a Gingival Graft?
Gingival grafting, also known as gum grafting, is a specialized periodontal procedure that restores or enhances the gum tissue. At Buxmont Periodontics, we offer advanced gingival grafting procedures in Dublin, PA, to address issues such as gum recession or receding gums, thin gum tissue, and to enhance the overall appearance and health of your gums.
The soft tissue that surrounds our teeth plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy smile. If your dentist determines that there is insufficient gingiva around your teeth or that it is too thin, we can help you optimize the amount of tissue you have.
What Causes Gum Recession?
Receding gums not only affect the aesthetics of your smile but also expose the tooth roots, leading to tooth sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and compromised gum health. Gum recession treatment in Dublin, PA, is necessary to restore gum tissue, protect the teeth, and create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
