What is a connective tissue graft?

A connective tissue graft is a type of gum grafting surgery used to treat gum recession. It involves taking a small piece of tissue from the roof of the mouth (the palate) and stitching it to the gum area where the root is exposed.

Why is this procedure performed?

It is performed to cover exposed tooth roots, which can reduce tooth sensitivity, prevent further recession and bone loss, and improve the aesthetics of your smile.

What is the recovery like?

Recovery involves a soft diet for a week or two. There will be two sites in the mouth that are healing: the palate where the tissue was taken from, and the area where it was grafted. Discomfort is typically manageable with pain medication.
