Gum grafting procedure for receding gums

Over time, the gums can recede, giving the teeth a lengthened appearance. Gum disease, overbrushing, or teeth grinding can all cause gum recession.

Severe gum recession can expose the underlying bony structures to bacterial infection.

“I’ve been attending The Smile Gallery for several years and am very happy with their services. All the staff are friendly, and the hygienist and dentists have given me a lot of useful tips to help me look after my teeth & gums better.” Andy, East Grinstead

Over time, the teeth may also become loose or fall out

A gum graft is an excellent way of restoring gums that have receded.

Typically, new tissue is taken from the roof of your mouth and stitched into place. You will return to the practice after about a week to have your stitches removed.

Full recovery from a gum graft can take 1-2 weeks, but most discomfort should pass within a few days.

Avoid smoking, stick to soft foods, and avoid aggravating the treatment site while brushing or flossing to aid your recovery.

Dr. Esen and Olivia were extremely gentle on me. I'm a big baby! Dr. Esen numbed my gum and I felt nothing more while she filled the upper tooth. Thank you.

So pleased I went to the Smile Gallery. I’ve had two veneers done with them as well as my usual check ups. Can’t fault them!

Just want to say a MASSIVE thank you too Dr Rahul and Nicole. I was in yesterday for composite bonding and I’m over the moon with my new teeth. Dr Rahul listened to exactly what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier. Both Nicole and Rahul were so kind and reassuring💕would recommend to anyone ☺️

A colleague of mine recommended this brilliant team 👏 😀 that I can only speak highly of when it comes to their professionalism and dedication. I happen to live quite far BUT that honestly is all worth it. Dr Rahul & Dr Jaime ABSOLUTELY THE BEST 👏 👌 I know it's going to be a long journey for me but having such wonderful team will make the process less stressful. I can't thank them enough for being ever so patient, also the ever so lovely receptists whomno matter how busy they are they always welcome you with such warmth. Huge thanks for making a difference to those of us that in a way left it a bit "too late" going to the dentist.
