Gum grafting is a periodontal procedure that restores gum tissue lost to recession, protecting the roots of your teeth and improving the appearance of your smile. When gums recede, sensitive tooth roots become exposed and vulnerable to decay. At Dental Studio of Melissa, Dr. Lena Khan offers gum grafting to rebuild healthy gum tissue and protect long-term oral health for patients in Melissa, TX.
Gum recession can be caused by periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, or genetics. Gum grafting may be recommended when recession leads to:
A thorough examination helps Dr. Lena Khan determine whether grafting is the right solution for you.
After discussing anesthesia and comfort options, gum tissue is gently placed over the area of recession and secured to encourage healing and reattachment. The graft helps cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and restore a healthier gumline. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions to support comfortable healing, and we will monitor your progress at follow-up visits.

If someone told me I'd have a 5-star experience at a dentist of all places, I'd call them a liar. Well, I just had two.

I needed dental work that I had put off for years because I was terrified of the dentist. I thought it was going to be so painful, but it wasn't.
