Frequently Asked Questions
Gingival graft FAQs
What is a gingival graft?
A gingival graft adds gum tissue to an area where recession has exposed the root. It rebuilds a healthy, even gumline, protects the root, and reduces sensitivity and the risk of decay.
Why should I treat gum recession?
Recession exposes the softer root, which is prone to sensitivity, decay, and further loss. A gingival graft covers the root and helps stop the recession from getting worse.
Does a gum graft hurt?
Most patients find this gum operation more comfortable than expected. We numb the area fully and use gentle technique, with simple aftercare that keeps discomfort minimal.
Will my gums look natural afterward?
Yes. The graft is shaped to match your smile, so the result looks like a healthy, even gumline rather than a treated area.
How much does a gingival graft cost?
Pricing depends on how many teeth are involved and the type of graft. Consultations and exams are complimentary, and we review all costs before any surgery.
