Gingival graft

A gingival graft is a type of surgery that dentists use to improve the look, feel, and health of your gums. During the procedure, your dentist will take a small piece of tissue, either from the roof of your mouth or from a donor, and then attach it to your gum tissue. This new piece of tissue helps cover any parts of your gum that may have worn away, and it can make your gums look even and healthy.
