A gingiva connective tissue graft is a dental procedure used to treat gum recession. It involves taking tissue from the roof of your mouth and grafting it to the affected area to restore gum tissue, improve appearance, and prevent further gum loss.

Gum surgery is typically needed when the depth of the pockets between the teeth and gums becomes abnormally deep. This condition creates what is known as a gum pocket—a space that, if left untreated, can lead to the buildup of bacteria, resulting in bone loss, pain, infection, and eventually tooth loss. Gum surgery may also be required in cases of gum recession, where a gum graft is performed to prevent further recession and to restore part or all of the lost gum tissue. Another reason for gum surgery is crown lengthening, which is performed when there is insufficient tooth structure above the gumline to place a crown or other restorative work. In this procedure, excess gum tissue and sometimes bone are removed to expose more of the tooth surface, making it suitable for crowns or other dental restorations.
Gum Graft Surgery (Soft Tissue Graft): Initial recovery takes 1-2 weeks, with full healing in 3-4 weeks. Discomfort usually lasts a few days and can be managed with pain relievers and ice packs. Sutures, if used, are removed after 2-4 weeks.
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): Recovery is quick, with 1-2 days of mild discomfort. No sutures are used, and any tenderness or bleeding typically subsides in a couple of days.
Crown Lengthening Surgery: Initial healing takes 2-4 weeks, with full recovery possibly taking a few months. Sutures are removed after 1-2 weeks, and discomfort can be managed with prescribed pain relievers.
Pocket Reduction Surgery: Recovery takes 1-2 weeks for initial healing, with full recovery in 4-6 weeks. Sutures are removed after 2 weeks, and discomfort is usually mild but can last for a few days.
Factors Affecting Recovery: Personal health, proper post-surgery care, and hygiene can influence healing time. Following your dentist’s or periodontist’s instructions will help ensure a quicker recovery.
