What's the Difference Between FGG vs CTG Gum Grafts?

Gum grafts aren’t one-size-fits-all. In this video, Dr. Raha Yousefi explains the two main types of gum grafts—FGG (Free Gingival Graft) vs. CTG (Connective Tissue Graft)—and when each is used.

🦷 Connective Tissue Graft (CTG): The most common type, perfect for covering exposed roots, improving the look of gum recession, and blending naturally with your gum line.

🦷 Free Gingival Graft (FGG): Ideal for thickening gum tissue in areas with thin or receding gums to better protect the teeth.

Both serve different purposes, but the goal is the same: healthier gums and a stronger smile.

👉 Watch now to learn which option may be best for your smile and why gum grafting is such a vital part of long-term oral health.
