What Is Gum Grafting?
Gums are more important to your smile than you might think. They protect your teeth and keep your mouth healthy. But when gums start to recede, they can leave your teeth vulnerable and change how your smile looks. Gum grafting is a procedure at Kaceli Dental Aesthetics that treats gum recession. Gum recession happens when your gums pull back from your teeth, exposing the roots. This can occur because of gum disease, brushing too hard, or even genetics. Exposed roots can make teeth sensitive, increase the risk of decay, and affect how your smile looks. Schedule a consultation at Kaceli Dental Aesthetics in Newton Centre, MA to see how gum grafting can protect your smile.
How Does Gum Grafting Work?
Modern surgery often uses the innovative gum graft tunneling technique, which is less invasive than traditional methods. A small incision creates a tunnel in the gums around the affected area where the tissue graft is gently inserted and positioned to cover exposed roots. The graft is secured in place, allowing it to integrate naturally with the surrounding tissue. This approach minimizes discomfort, shortens healing time, and ensures a seamless, natural-looking result. Our dental team will provide detailed instructions for care after gum graft surgery to help you recover smoothly and maintain your improved gumline.

There’s nothing fun about getting a crown especially in an upper molar but Dr Kaceli was quick and efficient and made it tolerable. She just did my 4th one and didn’t dread it at all.
