Gingival Grafts, also known as gum grafts, is a dental procedure designed to restore and strengthen gums that have thinned or receded. Gum recession occurs when the gum line moves away from the teeth, exposing the tooth roots. Exposed roots are more sensitive to temperature changes, more prone to decay, and less protected against bacteria. Recession can also affect the balance and appearance of the smile, as teeth may look longer than normal. Common causes include gum disease, aggressive brushing, teeth grinding, or trauma to the gums.

The main goal of Gingival Grafts is to improve gum health and prevent further recession. By strengthening the gums, the procedure helps protect teeth from sensitivity, reduces the risk of decay at the roots, and contributes to overall oral stability. Gingival Grafts support the long-term health of the mouth and create a foundation for stronger, more resilient gum tissue over time.

Gingival Grafts procedure is both functional and aesthetic. Functionally, it maintains gum stability and reduces risks associated with root exposure. Aesthetically, it creates a more balanced and harmonious smile by covering areas where teeth may appear longer. Many patients notice improvements in comfort, appearance, and confidence, making this procedure a valuable option for anyone seeking to protect and enhance their gums.

Gingival Grafts begin by a consultation conducted with the dentist at our affiliated clinic to assess the condition of the gums and determine the most suitable approach. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on the number of areas. During the procedure, the dentist carefully places healthy gum tissue over the areas of recession, creating a protective barrier that covers exposed roots and strengthens the gum line. After the graft is positioned, the tissue integrates naturally with the surrounding gums, providing long-lasting protection and improved oral stability. Patients can expect some mild swelling or discomfort for 2 to 3 days, with most resuming normal activities within 1 to 3 days. Benefits include reduced tooth sensitivity, prevention of further gum recession, stronger gum support, and a more balanced, natural-looking smile. Proper post-operative care and follow-up visits every 6 months is recommended to ensure optimal healing and maintain the results over time.
