GUM GRAFTING

ELIMINATE ROOT SENSITIVITY AND RESTORE YOUR NATURAL GUMS WITH GUM GRAFTING!

What is a gum graft?

A gum graft is a transplant of one tissue from one place to another. There are numerous types of gum grafts that can be performed. While historically all gum grafts involved taking tissue from the roof of one’s own mouth, there are other types of grafts that can be used in modern dentistry. For example, one of the more popular types of grafts is the Chao Pinhole ® Technique. Your examination will determine which type of gum graft is best suited for you.
