What Is Biomimetic Dentistry?
Gum recession is more than just a cosmetic concern — it's a sign that your gums are pulling away from your teeth, exposing the roots and putting your oral health at serious risk. Gum grafting helps restore protection, sensitivity, and appearance.
Common reasons you may need gum grafting:
Aggressive Brushing
Brushing too hard or with a hard-bristled toothbrush can wear away gum tissue over time.
Gum Disease (Periodontitis)
Infection can break down both gums and bone, requiring grafting to restore lost tissue.
Genetics or Aging
Some people are simply predisposed to thinner gum tissue or recession, even with perfect oral care.
Tooth Sensitivity
Exposed tooth roots often result in cold/hot sensitivity — grafting covers them up for lasting comfort.

Procedure Overview
Comprehensive Exam & Imaging
We begin with a thorough examination of your gums and teeth, using advanced imaging to assess the extent of gum recession and identify the best areas for grafting.
Local Anesthetic
Before we begin, a local anesthetic is applied to numb the area completely. You’ll feel little to no discomfort during the procedure and remain fully relaxed throughout.
Harvesting the Graft Tissue
A small amount of tissue is gently taken from your palate or nearby gum area. In some cases, donor tissue may be used instead, depending on what’s best for you.
Graft Placement & Suturing
The graft is carefully positioned over the recessed gum area and securely stitched in place. We ensure it blends naturally and starts healing seamlessly with your existing gums.
Recovery Instructions & Follow-Up
You’ll receive clear aftercare instructions, including diet tips and cleaning guidance. A follow-up visit is scheduled to monitor healing and ensure the graft integrates properly.
Recovery & Aftercare
What to Expect:
- Mild swelling & discomfort for 2–3 days
- Back to routine in 1–2 days
- Full healing within 1–2 weeks
DO’s:
- Eat soft/cold foods
- Use salt-water rinses
- Take OTC pain relief
Don’ts:
- Don’t brush graft area for ~2 weeks
