Root coverage procedure
Selected exposed roots may receive grafted tissue, with the achievable coverage determined by defect anatomy.
Periodontist-led gum grafting in Koramangala
Gum Grafting in Koramangala
Gum grafting adds or repositions tissue around selected teeth to manage recession, improve tissue thickness or protect an exposed root. Root coverage is not fully predictable in every defect, so the cause and anatomy must be assessed before surgery.
A dentist must examine you before confirming a gum grafting diagnosis or treatment. For breathing or swallowing difficulty, call India’s emergency number 112 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not use WhatsApp for emergencies.

Understanding the service
When may gum grafting be considered in Koramangala?
Recession can expose root surfaces, create sensitivity, change appearance or make the gumline harder to maintain. Causes may include periodontal disease, thin tissue, tooth position, traumatic brushing, orthodontic movement or local anatomical factors.
A graft may use tissue from the patient’s palate, another intraoral site or a suitable substitute depending on the procedure and clinical judgement. Some grafts aim primarily to increase tissue thickness rather than cover the entire root.
Controlling inflammation and correcting traumatic cleaning habits are essential. Surgery without managing the cause can compromise healing or allow recession to continue at treated or untreated sites.
Tissue thickening
A graft can increase the band or thickness of maintainable tissue even when complete root coverage is unlikely.
Site preparation support
Tissue augmentation may support selected restorative, orthodontic or implant-related plans after multidisciplinary assessment.
Individual assessment
What Dr Sanjay assesses before gum grafting in Koramangala
Dr Sanjay’s periodontal assessment defines the treatment objective and whether local anatomy can support predictable healing. Each recession site is measured separately.
Recession and attachmentDepth, width, interdental support, tissue thickness, gumline position and progression over time.
Tooth position and root surfaceAlignment, prominent roots, wear, decay, restorations and previous root-surface treatment.
Inflammation and habitsPlaque, bleeding, brushing pressure, tobacco and habits that may injure or delay healing.
Donor tissue and healthPalatal anatomy, alternative materials, medicines, diabetes control and factors affecting surgery or recovery.
The clinical journey
Gum grafting stages at V-Care Dental
Technique differs according to whether the goal is root coverage, tissue thickening or augmentation around a restorative area. Consent includes both donor and recipient sites when applicable.
Periodontal evaluation
The dentist records recession, attachment, tissue type, oral hygiene and relevant imaging or photographs.
Set realistic objectives
Expected coverage, sensitivity limits, colour differences, alternatives and the possibility of further care are discussed.
Prepare the mouth
Inflammation, deposits, traumatic cleaning and contributing restorative factors are controlled.
Place and secure the graft
Under appropriate anaesthesia, tissue is obtained or prepared and stabilised at the recipient site.
Protect early healing
The patient avoids disturbing the graft and follows instructions for cleaning, food, medicines and tobacco.
Monitor maturation
Healing, graft stability, tissue thickness and root coverage are reviewed over scheduled visits.

Clinical review for this gum grafting page is attributed to Dr Sanjay Kaul, BDS, MDS (Periodontics), founder of V-Care Dental and Karnataka State Dental Council registrant 4546 A (1997). His linked Practo profile contains his verified experience and academic history.
For this gum grafting page, his clinical review considers recession and attachment, tooth position and root surface, inflammation and habits, donor tissue and health. The review checks that the information separates general education from diagnosis, explains meaningful limitations and alternatives, and directs urgent symptoms appropriately. It does not replace an examination or an individual treatment recommendation.

Informed decisions
Expected benefits, risks and alternatives
Grafting can improve tissue quality and protect selected roots, but colour, contour and coverage vary. Success includes creating healthier maintainable tissue even when the final gumline does not completely cover the previous recession. Patients should understand the separate healing experience at the donor site when palate tissue is used and the possibility that more than one area or stage may be required.
- Risks include pain, bleeding, swelling, infection, graft shrinkage or failure, persistent sensitivity, uneven colour or contour and donor-site discomfort.
- Alternatives may include monitoring, technique modification, desensitising care, restorative coverage or orthodontic and restorative coordination.
- Untreated recession does not always progress, so photographs and measurements can support an informed decision when monitoring is reasonable.
Important: Contact the clinic for persistent bleeding, increasing swelling, fever, graft movement or worsening pain. Do not pull the lip repeatedly to inspect the graft or place an unapproved product on the surgical area. For breathing or swallowing difficulty, call 112 or attend the nearest emergency department; WhatsApp is not an emergency service.

Questions patients ask
Gum grafting FAQs for Koramangala patients
Will a graft cover the entire exposed root?
Not always. Interdental support, defect depth, tooth position and root condition influence achievable coverage.
Where does graft tissue come from?
It may come from the palate or another site, or a selected substitute may be considered. Suitability depends on the procedure.
Is gum grafting only cosmetic?
No. It may improve tissue thickness, maintainability, sensitivity or protection as well as appearance.
How should I clean after surgery?
Do not brush or disturb the surgical site until instructed. Follow the specific cleaning and rinse directions given by the clinician.
Can recession return?
Further recession can occur if inflammation, traumatic brushing, tooth position or other causes remain. Maintenance matters.
When can restorative work continue?
The tissue needs an appropriate healing and maturation period. Timing depends on the graft and planned restoration.
