Restoring Confidence with Gum Grafting
If you have receding gums, you may feel you have little to smile about. This condition – also known as gingival recession – can be excruciating, especially when the teeth’s sensitive nerves become exposed.
Receding gums can also cause a massive dent to confidence, leaving sufferers reluctant to smile.
If you have experienced the pain of receding gums, you’ll be pleased to know the condition is reversible through a quick and painless procedure called gum grafting.

Gum Grafts Explained
A gum graft involves taking tissue from the roof of your mouth and re-applying it to the affected areas from where gums have retreated. In some cases, tissue from a donor’s mouth can also be used.
The grafted tissue fuses with the gum, closing gaps and covering painfully exposed nerves. It’s a fast and straightforward way to restore gum health and put an end to the pain of gingival recession.
Before & Afters
Gum Grafting – Your FAQs Answered
Do I need to prepare for the procedure?
There is no special preparation needed to undergo a gum graft. However, you may need to make arrangements for after the procedure like arranging transport home from the clinic. The anaesthetic used could make you drowsy for some time after.
How long will I be in the clinic?
Gum graft treatments can usually be carried out in around an hour or two, and there’s no need to stay in the clinic afterwards. We will ask you to return to the clinic a few weeks after treatment so that your dentist can make sure your gums are healing well and remove any sutures.
Does gum grafting hurt?
Gum grafts are carried out under local anaesthetic so you won’t feel a thing during the procedure. You may experience some discomfort during recovery as your new gum tissue fuses and heals. Your dentist can recommend medication to help relieve any soreness.
Will my diet be restricted during recovery?
After the procedure, you should adopt a liquid diet for a few days, moving on to soft foods as the graft begins to heal.
What is the full recovery time?
You should be fully recovered within a week or two.

Very professional team. I had one tooth refilled and a root canal treatment there. It was really worth it.

I was very pleased with the service and dental work carried out at The Dental Suite Nottingham. I was treated with courtesy and respect by all the staff. Bernardo and Diogo explained treatment options and I did not feel pressurised. Maryam, the hygienist, was very gentle. I would recommend this dental practice.

I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the composite bonding that I’ve recently had on my two top front teeth. Dr Kiren is an absolute magician. A true perfectionist at what she does and I felt in such good hands. The practice at West Bridgford is immaculate and all the staff are just lovely. Thank you so much for helping me to have the confidence to smile again. I never in a million years thought my teeth would look as good as they do!!

I’ve had a great experience with using Invisalign at The Dental Suite, and have been given excellent treatment and advice from Hussein and Rose. I would recommend it to anyone looking for dental treatment in the Loughborough, as their flexibility and quality of care made my treatment fly by. 10/10

I had a check up here and a filling done. I felt absolutely nothing. Not even the injection. The girl at the desk and nurse and dentist were really professional and really nice. I highly recommend this place.
Amar Solanki
I had Enlighten Whitening and Cosmetic Bonding work done, this was all complete within a rapid 2-3 months of an initial check up that I was due to attend for over a year. Dr Sanita, Emma and all other staff made me feel at ease throughout the process with the highest level of care and service. I am extremely impressed with my results and will continue to use The Dental Suite into the future!
