Connective Tissue Graft

Patients who present with thin tissue, prominent teeth, aggressive tooth brushing habits, or thin bone may be subject to the exposure of root surfaces. Exposed root surfaces  are not merely un-esthetic, but may be prone to sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, as well as tooth brushing. Exposed root surfaces can be treated with a gum grafting procedure, also known as a connective tissue graft, at the affected site.
