Do gum grafts look natural?

I have gum recession and want to have a gum graft. Do gum grafts look natural?

Yes! With a good practitioner, a gum graft can look very natural and improve the area. It takes some time to heal to blend in fully, but after complete healing and good care, many patients are very happy with their grafting results. I would thoroughly review your concerns and wishes to your doctor to make sure you are both on the same page as far as expectations.
They can look natural oftentimes depending where the link where the graft is taken from it may look a little different but it is much better than losing a tooth.
Yes. Generally, gum grafts are a way of making your own body regenerate and repair the gum loss/ recession.
