Restore Your Gum Health and Protect Your Smile

Receding gums can expose sensitive tooth roots, affect the appearance of your smile, and increase the risk of dental complications. At Dullat Cosmetic Dental & Implants, we offer advanced gum grafting procedures to restore lost gum tissue, improve oral health, and protect your teeth from further damage.

Whether your gum recession is caused by periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, genetics, or aging, our team can help rebuild a healthier, more confident smile.

    What Is Gum Grafting?

    Gum grafting is a periodontal procedure that replaces or reinforces gum tissue around teeth affected by recession. The treatment helps cover exposed tooth roots, reduce sensitivity, improve aesthetics, and protect teeth from future gum loss.

    The procedure involves carefully placing healthy gum tissue in areas where recession has occurred, allowing the gums to heal and integrate naturally.

      Signs You May Need Gum Grafting

      You may be a candidate for gum grafting if you experience:

      • Receding gum lines
      • Teeth that appear longer than normal
      • Tooth root exposure
      • Increased tooth sensitivity
      • Discomfort when consuming hot or cold foods
      • Gum tissue loss due to periodontal disease
      • Uneven gum appearance
      • Concerns about your smile aesthetics

      Early treatment can help prevent further recession and preserve your natural teeth.

        Common Causes of Gum Recession

        Gum recession can develop for several reasons, including:

        Periodontal Disease

        Advanced gum disease can destroy supporting gum tissue and bone around the teeth.

        Aggressive Brushing

        Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can gradually wear away gum tissue.

        Genetics

        Some individuals are naturally more susceptible to gum recession.

        Teeth Grinding and Clenching

        Excessive force on the teeth can contribute to gum tissue loss over time.

        Misaligned Teeth

        Uneven bite forces may place excess stress on certain areas of the gums.
