What is Gum Grafting?
Gum grafting is a periodontal surgical procedure designed to treat gum recession, a condition where the gum tissue pulls back and exposes the tooth roots. This can lead to tooth sensitivity, higher risk of decay, and aesthetic concerns such as elongated teeth or an uneven gumline.
In Yonsei Heal Dental Clinic, many modern dental clinics offer gum grafting with advanced techniques, making the procedure safe, minimally invasive, and effective. For foreigners living in Korea, several clinics provide English-speaking services, ensuring clear communication throughout the treatment.
Why You Might Need Gum Grafting
- Gum Recession – Exposed roots due to periodontitis or aggressive brushing
- Tooth Sensitivity – Pain or discomfort with hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Aesthetic Concerns – “Long teeth” or an uneven smile line
- Preventing Further Damage – Protecting tooth roots from decay or wear
- Orthodontic or Implant Support – Strengthening gums before or after treatments
Recovery After Gum Grafting
- Healing Period – Typically 1–2 weeks, with full recovery in 4–6 weeks
- Diet Restrictions – Soft foods recommended, avoid spicy or hard foods
- Oral Care – Gentle brushing with a soft toothbrush, medicated rinses as prescribed
- Follow-Up Appointments – Ensures the graft is healing properly and integrates with natural tissue

FAQs
Is gum grafting surgery painful?
Modern gum grafting techniques are surprisingly comfortable. Local anesthesia eliminates pain during surgery, and most patients describe mild discomfort afterward that's easily managed with over-the-counter medication. Many return to work the next day.
How long does gum grafting take to heal?
Initial healing takes 1-2 weeks, with full integration occurring over 4-6 weeks. You'll see immediate improvement in appearance, with sensitivity relief beginning within days and becoming complete as healing progresses.
Will my gum graft look natural?
Yes. Advanced microsurgical techniques ensure seamless integration with your existing gums. The grafted tissue adapts to match your natural gum color and texture, creating results that look completely natural.
Can receding gums grow back without surgery?
No. Once gum tissue is lost, it cannot regenerate naturally. Gum grafting is the only way to restore lost tissue and protect exposed roots from further damage and sensitivity.
What's the success rate of gum grafting?
Gum grafting has excellent success rates, typically over 95% when performed by experienced periodontists. The procedure is considered the gold standard for treating gum recession and has been refined over decades.Yes. Research shows strong links between gum disease and heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and other serious conditions. Bacteria from infected gums can enter your bloodstream and affect your entire body.
Testimonials

"I was terrified about gum grafting, but Dr. Kim explained everything clearly in English and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I took just two days off work, and my gums healed beautifully. The sensitivity is completely gone."
