To restore the natural gum line around teeth where the gums have receded, Dr. Young uses a minimally invasive “tunneling” technique for gum grafting where he gently creates a pouch that runs sideways across your gums, underneath your outer layer of gum tissue.
The graft material is placed into the pouch to thicken the gums. After this, the outer layer of gum tissue is secured. When the site has healed, you will have a new, natural-looking gum line supported by thick, healthy gum tissue.
