What is Gum Graft Surgery?

Gum graft surgery, also known as gum grafting, is a procedure designed to correct the effects of gum recession. It involves transplanting tissue to the affected area, thereby covering exposed roots and reinforcing the gum line. This procedure is essential for protecting teeth from further damage and improving the overall appearance of your smile.

Our Gum Graft Surgery Process

Comprehensive Gum Examination

Your periodontist evaluates gum health, recession severity, and tissue thickness to determine the best grafting method.

Local Anesthesia & Tissue Selection

To ensure comfort, the area is numbed. Graft tissue is selected from either the patient’s palate or a high-quality tissue bank.

Precise Grafting & Placement

The graft is carefully positioned over the recession area and secured at the gum line using advanced techniques for optimal healing and integration.

Healing, Follow-Up & Personalized Aftercare

Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions including diet, hygiene, and activity guidelines. Follow-up visits ensure proper healing and long-term stability.

Who Can Benefit From Gum Grafting?

Gum graft surgery is often recommended for patients experiencing significant gum recession due to periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, or genetic predisposition. The procedure is also advised for those with thinning gums or who have lost gum tissue, leading to root exposure and increased tooth sensitivity.
