Gum Grafting in North Miami – Restore Receding Gums

Restore your gum line and protect your teeth with advanced gum grafting techniques from Dr. Lorena Corzo. Gentle, effective treatment to eliminate sensitivity, improve appearance, and prevent further gum recession.

What is Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting is a specialized periodontal procedure that restores receding gums by transplanting healthy tissue to areas where the gum line has pulled away from teeth. This essential treatment protects exposed tooth roots, eliminates sensitivity, and restores the natural, healthy appearance of your smile.

Dr. Lorena Corzo, a board-certified periodontist, uses advanced gum grafting techniques to provide comfortable treatment with superior results. Gum recession affects millions of people and, left untreated, can lead to tooth sensitivity, root decay, and eventual tooth loss.

Types of Gum Grafting Procedures

The most common technique using tissue from the roof of your mouth to cover exposed roots. Excellent success rates with natural appearance.

Free Gingival Graft

Builds stronger, thicker gum tissue by taking tissue directly from the palate. Ideal for areas needing more robust tissue protection.

Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST)

Minimally invasive approach requiring no grafting material. Uses existing gums by repositioning them with faster healing.

Allografts

Uses processed human donor tissue for patients who prefer not to use their own tissue. No second surgical site required.
