Gum Grafting & Recession Treatment

If you’ve noticed your gums pulling away or your teeth looking longer than they used to, gum grafting might be the solution. At Valencia Periodontics, we specialize in restoring lost tissue and protecting your smile with gentle, effective care—backed by expert surgeons, advanced technology, and a personalized experience.
What is Gum Grafting?
Gum grafting is a surgical procedure used to treat gum recession, a common condition where the gum tissue surrounding your teeth begins to wear away. Left untreated, recession can lead to root exposure, sensitivity, decay, and even tooth loss. At Valencia Periodontics, we offer both traditional and minimally invasive grafting options tailored to your needs. Whether your goal is to reduce sensitivity, improve aesthetics, or protect your long-term oral health, we’re here to help you feel confident again.
