Care we provide

Gum Recession & Grafting

Cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and restore a healthy gum line.

Receding gums expose the root surface, which can cause sensitivity, decay, and a longer-looking tooth. Grafting rebuilds the lost tissue.

Where it fits, we use the Pinhole Surgical Technique: the recession is corrected through a small entry point instead of cutting and stitching a graft from the palate. No scalpel, no sutures, and most patients are comfortable the same day. Traditional connective tissue grafting is still the right answer for some cases, and we'll tell you plainly which one you are.
