A Procedure to Rebuild and Restore Receding Gums for Better Oral Health
What is Gum Grafting?
Gum grafting is a periodontal procedure that involves taking healthy tissue—usually from the roof of the mouth or a donor source—and placing it in areas where the gums have receded. This added tissue strengthens and rebuilds the gumline, protecting exposed roots and creating a more natural, youthful smile.

Step-by-Step Treatment to Restore and Protect Your Gums
Gum Grafting Process
Step 1: Consultation & Exam
Dr. Jamsheed evaluates the health of your gums, reviews your symptoms, and determines if gum grafting is the right solution for you.
Preparing the Area
Local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable. The affected site is gently cleaned and prepared for graft placement.
Step 3: Graft Placement
Healthy tissue is taken either from the roof of your mouth or a donor source and carefully positioned over the recessed area.
Step 4: Securing the Tissue
The graft is secured with sutures, allowing it to bond naturally with your existing gum tissue.
Step 5: Healing & Follow-Up
Over the next several weeks, the graft integrates with your gums, restoring both strength and appearance. Follow-up visits ensure proper healing and lasting results.
Essential Tips for a Smooth Healing Process After Gum Grafting
Recovery and Aftercare
Healing from gum grafting usually takes a few weeks. During this time, patients should follow a soft-food diet, avoid brushing the surgical site directly, and use any prescribed rinses to keep the area clean. Dr. Jamsheed will provide detailed aftercare instructions and monitor your recovery closely. With proper care, your new gum tissue will strengthen and protect your teeth for years to come.
