FAQ: What is a gum graft? Do I need one?

Gum grafting is a small tissue transplant that adds firm, protective gum tissue around teeth—often to help with recession, tooth sensitivity (to hot/cold temperatures), brushing discomfort, or aesthetic concerns (teeth that appear “long” or have a yellowish appearance at the root). One of Nu Image Surgical’s periodontists, Dr. Justin Tomack, explains what a graft is and when it’s recommended. Why a gum graft? • Reduce tooth sensitivity and protect exposed roots • Strengthen thin/fragile gums to make brushing more comfortable • Improve esthetics and balance the gumline • Support long-term oral health Types: Your own tissue (autograft) or a biocompatible tissue substitute (donor biomaterial)—your periodontist will recommend what’s best for your case.
