Periodontal treatment does more than restore your gums. It improves comfort, protects oral function and supports long-term dental and overall health.

What Our Patients Say About Us
"Couldn’t recommend this place enough"
I’ve been coming here the past 6 years give or take and always have such a pleasant experience! It’s great to know that current practices and techniques are constantly being refined, instead of just adhering to the norm and being stuck in the past. They recently fit me for a night guard and used new technology to get a “mold” for me without having to physically put my teeth against a material. Smooth, seamless, and right out the door! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.
"The best dental experience I’ve had to date!"
The best dental experience I’ve had to date! Dr. Kim was fast, efficient, kind, and did excellent work. His dental hygienist had the most calming presence and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. After not being in a dental chair for years I was anxious going in, but my experience went so well, any fears I had completely disappeared. I’m so grateful to Dr. Kim and his amazing staff. I plan on staying with Enhance Dentist.
What is soft tissue grafting?
Soft tissue grafting, also called gum grafting, is a procedure that adds healthy tissue to areas where the gums have receded or become thin.
Why would I need a gum graft?
You may need a graft if you have gum recession from periodontal disease, overbrushing or gum thinning. Grafting restores protection around the teeth and improves appearance.
Does a gum graft hurt?
Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable during the procedure. Mild soreness afterward is normal and usually managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long does healing take?
Most patients heal within one to two weeks. Complete integration of the graft may take a few months.
Will a gum graft improve my smile?
Yes. A graft can restore a natural-looking gumline, reduce long-tooth appearance and improve overall aesthetics.
