Gum Grafting in Midtown
At Castaño Periodontics & Dental Implants, we provide advanced gum grafting in Midtown Manhattan to treat gum recession, reduce sensitivity, and protect your long-term oral health. If your gums have pulled back or your teeth feel more sensitive than usual, gum grafting can restore your gumline and prevent further damage.
What is Gum Grafting?
Gum grafting, also known as tissue grafting or gingival augmentation, is a periodontal procedure used to treat areas of moderate to severe gum recession.
When gum tissue recedes, it exposes the root of the tooth, increasing the risk of sensitivity, decay, and bone loss. Gum grafting restores this lost tissue by placing a small amount of graft material over the affected area, helping rebuild the gumline and protect the tooth.
In addition to improving oral health, gum grafting can also enhance the appearance of your smile by creating a more even, natural-looking gumline.
