What Is Gum Graft Surgery?

Gum grafting involves adding soft tissue to areas where gum recession has occurred. The graft covers exposed root surfaces, improves gum contour, and protects the tooth from further damage.

When Is It Necessary?

Exposed tooth roots due to gum recession
Aesthetic concerns (uneven smile line)
Tooth sensitivity
Gum loss after orthodontic treatment
To increase gum volume before prosthetic procedures

What Is the Procedure Like?

Local anesthesia is administered
Graft tissue is harvested (usually from the palate)
It is placed on the recessed area and sutured
Healing occurs over 7–14 days
In some cases, donor or synthetic graft materials are used.

Postoperative Care Instructions

Avoid hot or cold foods for 48 hours
Eat soft foods and avoid pressure on the surgical site
Use prescribed mouthwash and medications
Do not brush or floss the area until advised
Sutures are usually removed after 1 week

How Long Does It Take?

The procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes per area. Patients can return home the same day and resume normal activities shortly after.
