a group of periodontal procedures that repair, reshape, or regenerate the gum and bone around your teeth. The goals are to stop disease progression, reduce pocket depths, cover exposed roots, improve the gumline’s appearance, and preserve natural teeth whenever possible. This type of gum procedure may be conservative or more advanced depending on your diagnosis.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conditions commonly treated include receding gums that expose tooth roots, periodontal disease with deep pockets and bone loss, pockets that trap bacteria and are hard to clean, and root exposure that causes sensitivity and a “long tooth” appearance. In many cases, surgery for gum recession is recommended to protect roots and enhance comfort.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These procedures may be performed by a <a href=\"/dentists/\">general dentist</a> with advanced training or by a periodontist, a specialist in gum and bone health. Complex recession, significant bone loss, regenerative care, or cases requiring advanced imaging and microsurgical techniques are often referred to a periodontist for surgery on gums that demand specialized expertise.</span></p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types of Gum Surgery</span></h2>\n<p><b>Gum grafting</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> treats recession and protects roots. Common approaches include:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Connective tissue grafts:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tissue from beneath the roof of the mouth is used to thicken thin gums and cover exposed roots. This is the most frequently used method for root coverage when surgery for gum recession is indicated.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Free gingival grafts:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A small layer of surface tissue from the palate increases gum thickness and keratinized tissue. These are ideal when durability is the priority over cosmetic blending in a gum procedure.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pedicle grafts:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Nearby gum tissue is rotated over the recession site, offering excellent blood supply and color match when enough local tissue is available.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Pocket reduction and flap surgery</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> address deep periodontal pockets. The gum is gently lifted to access and clean the roots and reshape the bone. </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Osseous (bone) surgery</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may be used to smooth irregular bone contours that harbor bacteria, helping reduce pocket depth and create a more maintainable environment. This form of gum surgery is often part of comprehensive periodontal procedures.</span></p>\n<p><b>Regenerative procedures</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rebuild lost support. </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guided tissue regeneration</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> uses a biocompatible membrane to direct new bone and ligament growth between the tooth and bone. </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bone grafts</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, from donor, synthetic, or your own bone, fill defects and support regeneration. </span></p>\n<p><b>Crown lengthening</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> removes small amounts of gum and sometimes bone to expose more of a tooth for restorative care or to even out a “gummy” smile. These surgery on gums techniques are selected based on your anatomy and treatment goals.</span></p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Expect During the Procedure</span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before surgery, you will have a comprehensive evaluation that may include periodontal charting, digital X-rays, and sometimes 3D imaging to assess bone levels and root anatomy. Your clinician will review your medical history, medications, and risk factors, then develop a tailored treatment plan. Anesthesia options typically include local anesthesia to numb the area, with oral sedation or nitrous oxide for added comfort. For extensive cases, IV sedation may be offered by a specialist.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most procedures follow a similar sequence. After numbing, the gum is gently moved or reshaped to access roots and bone. Diseased tissue and tartar are removed. If needed, grafts, membranes, or bone substitutes are placed. The gum is repositioned and sutured for healing, and a protective dressing may be applied. Appointment lengths vary: a single-tooth graft generally takes 60–90 minutes, while full-quadrant surgery may take 90–120 minutes or more. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions before you leave so you know how to care for the surgery for the gum area.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intraoperative risks are uncommon and carefully managed. Minor bleeding is controlled with local measures and sutures. Instruments and the surgical field are sterilized to lower infection risk. If you take blood thinners or have medical conditions that affect healing, your team will coordinate with your physician to optimize safety during gum surgery and related periodontal procedures.</span></p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recovery, Aftercare, and Pain Management</span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing occurs in stages. Discomfort and swelling often peak within 48–72 hours and then improve. Most soft tissue healing occurs within two weeks, while graft maturation and bone remodeling continue for several months. Stitches may be removed in 7–14 days depending on the material used. A gum procedure that involves grafts may require a longer period before brushing at the site resumes.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow your post-operative instructions closely:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid brushing directly on the surgical site for the first few days; use a prescribed antimicrobial rinse as directed.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brush and floss non-surgical areas normally to keep your mouth clean.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a soft diet for several days and avoid hard, crunchy, spicy, or very hot foods.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not smoke or vape, and limit strenuous activity for 48–72 hours to minimize bleeding and swelling.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply a cold compress on the outside of your face for 10–20 minutes at a time during the first day.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain is usually manageable with over-the-counter medications such as <a href=\"https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a681004.html\">acetaminophen</a> or <a href=\"https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/20168-ibuprofen-capsules-or-tablets\">ibuprofen</a>, taken as advised. Your dentist may prescribe additional pain medication or antibiotics based on the procedure and your health. Contact the clinic promptly if you experience bleeding that does not slow with pressure, worsening pain after day three, fever or foul taste, signs of infection, or if a dressing or graft becomes dislodged.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expect at least one follow-up visit to monitor healing and remove sutures if non-resorbable stitches were used. Long term, maintain excellent home care with a soft-bristled brush, daily flossing or interdental cleaning, and any recommended desensitizing toothpaste. Regular professional cleanings and periodontal maintenance visits are essential to protect your results after surgery for gums.</span></p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outcomes, Risks, Costs, and When to Seek Care</span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When paired with good oral hygiene and healthy habits, gum surgery delivers predictable improvements. Grafting can cover exposed roots and increase gum thickness, reducing sensitivity and protecting against further recession. Pocket reduction and regenerative procedures can reduce inflammation, lower pocket depths, and stabilize teeth. Outcomes are influenced by plaque control, systemic conditions such as diabetes, and tobacco use; smokers tend to heal more slowly and have lower success rates. Discuss whether surgery for gum recession or other periodontal procedures are appropriate for your situation.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common risks include temporary swelling, bruising, and tooth sensitivity to temperature, especially after root coverage. Graft sites may show color differences that blend over time. Less common complications include infection, bleeding that requires intervention, graft failure, or recurrence of recession if risk factors persist. It’s important to have realistic expectations: while aesthetics often improve, the final gumline and sensitivity can vary based on tooth position and tissue type after surgery on gums.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costs depend on the procedure type, number of teeth treated, materials used, and whether sedation is needed. Dental insurance often provides benefits for periodontal surgery when medically necessary, though coverage for cosmetic crown lengthening may be limited. Your care team can provide a detailed estimate, explain your insurance benefits, and discuss payment options before treatment begins so you understand the full scope of the gum procedure.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you notice gum recession, bleeding gums, tooth sensitivity near the gumline, or have been told you have periodontal pockets, schedule a consultation with a qualified dental professional. They will evaluate your needs and collaborate with trusted periodontal specialists to create a personalized plan that supports a healthy smile for years to come, whether that involves surgery for gum recession, regenerative periodontal procedures, or non-surgical care.</span></p>\n"}}}},"home":{"ACFHomePage":{"hero":{"callouts":{"callout1":{"heading":"<p>$149 New Patient
