How much does gum grafting cost in London?

Gum grafting at Sure Smile Clinic London starts from £600 per site. Treating several adjacent teeth in one procedure usually works out cheaper per tooth.

Is a gum graft painful?

The procedure is painless under local anaesthetic. The palate donor site is the tender part afterwards, usually settling within a week; a protective plate and painkillers help.

Yes, provided the cause is addressed. Grafted tissue is typically thicker and more resistant than the tissue it replaced, and gentle brushing keeps it stable for many years.

Are there alternatives to gum grafting?

For mild recession we may simply monitor, desensitise the root or bond composite over it. Grafting is recommended when recession is progressing or the appearance bothers you.

How long is recovery?

Most people return to normal routine the next day and eat comfortably within two weeks. Full tissue maturation takes three to six months.

Gum Grafting at Sure Smile Clinic, London

Why gums recede

The usual causes are periodontal disease, aggressive brushing with a hard brush, thin natural tissue, teeth that sit outside the bone housing and grinding. We treat the cause first — otherwise a graft simply recedes again.

Graft options

Connective tissue graft — the gold standard, using tissue taken from your palate
Free gingival graft — thickens tissue where there is very little attached gum
Donor / collagen matrix — avoids a palate wound, with good outcomes in suitable cases
Pinhole technique — minimally invasive repositioning for suitable multi-tooth recession

Healing and results

The graft is stitched into place and needs a fortnight of care: soft food, no brushing over the site, and a prescribed rinse. Early healing takes two weeks, with the final contour settling over three to six months.
