Quick answer
What is gum grafting in Bavdhan?
Gum grafting adds or moves gum tissue to cover an exposed root or thicken thin gums that keep receding. Results depend on the starting condition of the gums. At Hi Smile Dental Clinic in Bavdhan, Pune, Dr. Sagar Borse assesses the recession and says whether grafting is worth considering.
Gum grafting adds or repositions soft tissue around selected teeth or implants. It may be considered to cover part of an exposed root, increase tissue thickness or improve a site’s resistance to further recession.
Complete root coverage is not possible in every defect. The starting anatomy strongly influences the expected result.
Patient guide
Who may be suitable in Bavdhan?
Assessment may be appropriate for progressive recession, sensitivity from exposed roots, limited keratinised tissue or selected appearance concerns. The site must be evaluated rather than treated from photographs alone.
Active inflammation, uncontrolled plaque, tobacco use, traumatic brushing, tooth position and bite forces can affect timing and prognosis.
Patient guide
How is gum recession assessed?
The clinician records recession depth, tissue thickness, attachment, pocket findings, tooth position and root-surface condition. Indicated radiographs help assess supporting bone.
The cause is addressed where possible because grafting without correcting trauma or inflammation can compromise stability.
Patient guide
Which tissue sources may be used for gum grafting?
Depending on the procedure, tissue may be taken from the palate, repositioned from nearby gum or obtained from an approved donor material. Each option has different indications and healing considerations.
The treating clinician should explain the proposed graft, donor site, expected coverage and alternatives.
Patient guide
What happens during gum grafting treatment?
After local anaesthesia, the recipient area is prepared and the selected tissue is positioned and stabilised with sutures. A dressing may be used depending on the technique.
The exact procedure varies with anatomy and objective and should be performed or coordinated by an appropriately qualified clinician.
Patient guide
How does gum grafting heal?
Early healing can include tenderness, swelling, minor bleeding and colour changes. The graft must remain stable while blood supply develops, so cleaning and diet are modified temporarily.
Do not pull the lip to inspect the site repeatedly. Follow instructions for the graft and any palatal donor area.
Patient guide
What alternatives to gum grafting may be considered?
Alternatives can include monitoring, modifying brushing, managing inflammation, desensitising care, restorative coverage or orthodontic correction when tooth position contributes.
An alternative may control symptoms without producing the same tissue change. Benefits and limits should be compared.
Patient guide
How is gum grafting reviewed after surgery?
Reviews check graft stability, sutures, tissue healing, plaque control and symptoms. Later assessment considers root coverage, tissue thickness and whether the original risk factors are controlled.
Long-term reviews remain important because recession can recur or develop at other sites.
Already have a treatment plan from another dentist?
Bring your X-rays, reports and the plan you were given. Dr. Sagar Borse will go through them with you, explain what they show and what he would check again, and discuss other options for gum grafting.
Informed consent
What are the risks and limits of gum grafting?
Possible issues include pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, graft shrinkage, colour mismatch, incomplete root coverage, donor-site discomfort and recurrence.
Smoking, poor plaque control, traumatic brushing and unfavourable anatomy can reduce predictability.
Patient guide

Hi Smile Dental Clinic evaluates recession, gum health, tooth position and restorative considerations. Dr. Sagar Borse can assess the complete mouth and coordinate periodontist evaluation for graft planning.
The consultation should identify who will perform surgery, the graft source, realistic objective and aftercare.

Common gum grafting questions in Bavdhan
Can gum grafting cover every exposed root?
No. Coverage depends on recession type, bone and papilla support, tooth position, root condition and healing.
Where does graft tissue come from?
It may come from the palate, nearby tissue or an approved donor material depending on the procedure.
Is gum grafting performed under local anaesthesia?
Local anaesthesia is commonly used. Additional comfort measures depend on the procedure and patient needs.
Will the graft look the same as nearby gum?
Colour and texture can blend over time, but an exact match cannot be promised.
Can gum recession return after grafting?
Yes. Recurrence is possible, especially if inflammation, traumatic brushing or other risk factors persist.
How should I clean after gum grafting?
Follow procedure-specific instructions because brushing and interdental cleaning are usually modified near the graft initially.
Can smoking affect graft healing?
Yes. Tobacco can impair healing and reduce treatment predictability.
When should I contact the clinic after surgery?
Contact the clinic for uncontrolled bleeding, increasing swelling, fever, severe pain, graft movement or another unexpected symptom.
