Gum graft for gum recession

Gingival recession, also known as receding gums, causes sensitivity, compromises aesthetics and increases the risk of root caries. Microsurgical gum grafting allows the recession to be covered and a healthy, stable gum line to be rebuilt.

Gum recession: where does it come from and why is it worth treating

Receding gums can be caused by, among other things, overly aggressive brushing, a thin gingival biotype, malocclusion, teeth grinding, and past periodontal diseases. Exposed tooth necks react with pain to cold and touch, make them more susceptible to decay, and lead to an uneven gum line. Left untreated, recession usually gradually worsens, which is why it is worth consulting a professional early on.

How a gum graft is performed at Mabel Clinic

We plan the procedure after a thorough periodontal examination and determining the cause of the recession to ensure a lasting result. Under local anaesthesia, we take a small tissue graft, usually from the palate, and precisely suture it into the area of the gum defect, covering the exposed neck of the tooth. Microsurgical techniques and fine sutures ensure rapid healing and virtually invisible scarring.

Treatment effects and healing recommendations

Once healed, the gum covers the tooth again: sensitivity subsides, the aesthetics of the gumline improve, and the root gains permanent protection against decay and further recession. For the first two weeks, we recommend gentle hygiene of the operated area and avoiding hard foods. We assess the full, stable effect after a few weeks at a follow-up visit.
