Common Questions
Gum Grafting FAQ
How long does recovery from gum grafting take?
Most patients experience mild discomfort for one to two weeks. Soft foods are recommended during this period, and normal activity can usually resume within a few days.
Will I need multiple grafting sessions?
It depends on the severity and number of affected teeth. Recession on multiple teeth may be treated in stages for patient comfort and recovery.
Can gum recession be prevented?
Brushing gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush, wearing a night guard if you grind, and maintaining regular cleanings all help prevent and slow recession.
