The Serio Dental Gum Grafting

Patients typically require gum grafting due to:

• Gum recession from periodontal disease.
• Brushing too hard or with a hard-bristled toothbrush.
• Genetic predisposition to thin or receding gums.
• Damage from dental procedures or trauma.

The specific approach may vary, but typically, the process involves:

1. Anesthetizing the area for comfort.
2. Harvesting donor tissue (often from the patient’s palate).
3. Securing the graft onto the area of recession.
4. Stitches or adhesives are used to hold the graft in place.

Thanks to local anesthesia, patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Post-operative pain can be managed with prescribed pain relievers and following post-op care instructions.

• Protects tooth roots from decay and sensitivity.
• Halts gum recession and bone loss.
• Improves aesthetics of the smile.
• Enhances overall oral health.

Patients should expect:

• Mild discomfort that can be managed with medication.
• A soft diet for a few days to a week.
• Regular follow-up visits to ensure successful graft healing.

Generally, it takes a few weeks for the graft to fully integrate with the surrounding tissue. However, patients can resume most daily activities within a day or two.
