Different Types of Gum Graft

Your dentist might refer you to a periodontist if you have receding gums. Here are the different types of gum graft.

Main takeaways:

– Free gingival tissue grafts: healthy gum tissue is removed from the roof of the mouth, then applied to cover exposed roots.

– Connective tissue grafts: similar to the free gingival procedure, except the periodontist removes tissue by making a flap on your mouth’s roof.

– Pedicle grafts: excess gum tissue is removed from the affected teeth.

Fasten recovery by taking medications and avoiding hot and hard foods.
