Gum recession may have been caused by a variety of reasons, including aggressive tooth brushing, clenching or grinding or periodontal disease. Soft Tissue Grafting Procedures have been developed to stop further gum recession, bone loss, and to improve the esthetics of your gum.

Gum grafting can also cover the exposed tooth surface, which reduces sensitivity, and improves esthetic of your smile. In some cases covering the exposed root surface would protect them from decay, or would repair insipient decay.
