Request a call

Gum Grafting (Gingival Augmentation) at Gallant Dental Clinic is a modern dental procedure that restores lost gum tissue volume, improves gum shape, and enhances the overall appearance of the oral cavity. This procedure may be necessary for patients with gum recession, tissue loss due to periodontitis, or other gum diseases.

Benefits of Gum Grafting:

Restores Gum Health: The procedure helps stop the progression of gum disease and restores the normal structure of the gums.

Improves Aesthetics: Restoring gum volume and shape gives the smile a natural and healthy appearance.

Protects Teeth: Grafted gum tissue shields tooth roots from external factors, reducing the risk of decay and other dental issues.

Enhances Comfort: Helps reduce tooth sensitivity and discomfort caused by exposed roots.

Gum Grafting Procedure Includes:

1. Consultation with a Periodontist

The initial stage involves a thorough examination of the oral cavity, assessment of gum condition, and determining the need for grafting. The doctor performs the necessary diagnostics and discusses the treatment plan with the patient.

2. Preparation for the Procedure

Includes cleaning the mouth of plaque and tartar and sanitising the oral cavity. The doctor explains the surgical process and provides pre-operative instructions.

3. Grafting Procedure

The dentist uses donor tissue or synthetic materials to restore gum volume. The operation is performed under local anesthetic to ensure the patient's comfort.

4. Post-operative Care

The dentist provides aftercare instructions, prescribes anti-inflammatory medications, and antibiotics if needed. The patient must follow a special diet and avoid physical exertion during the recovery period.

Gum Recession Prevention:

Proper Oral Hygiene: Brush teeth twice daily, use dental floss and mouth rinses.

Regular Dental Visits: Preventive check-ups and professional cleaning every 6 months to detect and address problems early.

Balanced Diet: Consume foods rich in vitamins and minerals that support gum health.
