Restore Gum Health and Protect Your Smile

Gum recession can lead to tooth sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and aesthetic concerns. Gum grafting is a specialized periodontal procedure designed to restore lost gum tissue, cover exposed tooth roots, and promote better oral health.

At Daant Guru Dental Clinic, Dr. Nayab utilizes advanced techniques to perform minimally invasive gum grafting, ensuring effective results with maximum comfort. This procedure involves taking healthy gum tissue—either from your own mouth or using biocompatible grafting material—and carefully placing it in areas where the gums have receded.

Gum grafting not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also protects teeth from further damage and potential tooth loss. Whether caused by aggressive brushing, periodontal disease, or genetics, gum recession can be effectively treated with gum grafting, helping you achieve a healthier, more confident smile. At Daant Guru Dental Clinic, we provide personalized care to ensure optimal healing and long-term success.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is gum grafting, and why do I need it?

Gum grafting is a procedure that restores receding gums by covering exposed tooth roots with gum tissue. It helps prevent further gum recession, reduces sensitivity, and improves the appearance of your smile. If you have significant gum recession due to periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, or other factors, gum grafting may be necessary to protect your teeth and maintain oral health.

Is gum grafting a painful procedure?

At Daant Guru Dental Clinic, Dr. Nayab ensures a comfortable experience by administering local anesthesia. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. After surgery, mild soreness or swelling is expected, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications and post-operative care instructions.

How long does it take to heal after a gum graft?

The initial healing phase typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, during which the grafted tissue begins to integrate with your gums. Full healing and tissue maturation may take a few months. At Daant Guru Dental Clinic, we provide detailed post-operative care instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress.

Are there different types of gum grafts, and how do I know which one is right for me?

Yes, the three main types of gum grafts are:

Connective Tissue Grafts
Free Gingival Grafts
Pedicle Grafts

Dr. Nayab will assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate type based on the severity of your gum recession, tissue availability, and overall oral health.

How much does gum grafting cost, and is it covered by insurance?

The cost of gum grafting depends on the extent of the procedure and the graft type used. During your consultation at Daant Guru Dental Clinic, Dr. Nayab will provide a detailed cost estimate. Some dental insurance plans may cover gum grafting if deemed medically necessary, and our team can assist with insurance queries and flexible payment options.
