The Anthem approach

Receding gums expose tooth roots — inviting sharp sensitivity, root decay, and a longer-toothed look that ages a smile prematurely. Gum grafting restores that lost tissue with a delicate procedure that's as protective as it is cosmetic.

Healthy tissue is placed precisely where recession has occurred, covering exposed roots and rebuilding a resilient band of gum. The result: comfortable teeth, protected roots, and a naturally framed smile.

  • Ends hot/cold root sensitivity
  • Protects exposed roots from decay
  • Restores a youthful gumline
  • Halts progressive recession

FAQ

Gum Grafting — your questions, answered.

What causes gum recession?

Aggressive brushing, gum disease, genetics, grinding, and orthodontic history are the usual culprits. We address the cause, not just the symptom — otherwise recession returns.

Is gum grafting painful?

The procedure is done under local anesthesia. Recovery involves about a week of tenderness managed with soft foods and standard pain relievers.

How successful are gum grafts?

Very — success rates exceed 90% when the underlying cause is controlled, and the results typically last decades.
