Guard your teeth from the damaging effects caused by gum recession.

Your gums protect your teeth, which sometimes it may slowly begin to wear away and expose the teeth’s roots. This could lead to dental health problems, as well as affect the appearance of your smile.

Gum graft surgery, also known as soft tissue augmentation or gingival grafting, is one of the most effective methods to resolve this problem. We are delighted to offer this treatment to patients throughout Melbourne, Australia.

About Gum Grafting in Melbourne

Gum grafting is a traditional and effective method designed to correct the condition of receding gums. Dr Jaclyn Wong uses soft tissue from the roof of your mouth or nearby healthier gum tissues. The tissue is then attached to the area in which your gums have worn away. This procedure can help treat and stop receding gums from bacteria overgrowth, which often leads to tooth decay.

Dr Wong performs gum grafts by leveraging microsurgery techniques to extract tissues from the roof of your mouth to cover your receding gums.

The procedure results in the once exposed tooth’s root being covered by soft tissue, allowing the gum to function normally. In just a few weeks your gums will not just appear healthier and more even, they will appear firmer and more tighter, too.
