Understanding Gum Graft Surgery
Gum graft surgery, also known as periodontal plastic surgery, represents an advanced solution for treating gum recession and protecting exposed tooth roots. At Perio Vital Clinic in Tijuana, our periodontal specialists perform this sophisticated procedure using state-of-the-art techniques to restore gum health and enhance smile aesthetics. Our comprehensive approach ensures optimal results while prioritizing patient comfort and recovery.
Types of Gum Grafting Procedures
Our clinic offers several specialized gum grafting techniques, each tailored to address specific patient needs. The connective tissue graft, considered the gold standard, involves harvesting tissue from the palate and carefully placing it over exposed root surfaces. Free gingival grafts and pedicle grafts provide alternative approaches based on individual cases. Our experienced periodontists carefully evaluate each situation to recommend the most appropriate technique.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Modern gum grafting at Perio Vital Clinic incorporates microsurgical techniques and advanced healing factors to optimize results. We utilize precision instruments and magnification systems to ensure minimal tissue manipulation and enhanced accuracy. When appropriate, we incorporate platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy to accelerate healing and improve surgical outcomes.
Pre-Surgical Assessment
Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your gum health and overall oral condition. Our specialists assess the extent of recession, identify contributing factors, and develop a customized treatment plan. Advanced imaging techniques help us visualize the affected areas and plan the precise surgical approach needed for optimal results.
The Surgical Experience
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in our state-of-the-art surgical suite. Our team prioritizes your comfort throughout the process, utilizing gentle techniques and modern pain management protocols. The surgery typically takes between one to two hours, depending on the number of sites requiring treatment and the specific technique employed.
Recovery and Healing Process
Post-operative care is crucial for successful gum grafting outcomes. We provide detailed instructions for home care, including proper oral hygiene techniques and dietary recommendations. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, though complete healing occurs over several weeks. Our team maintains close contact during the recovery period to monitor healing and address any concerns.


Long-Term Benefits
Successful gum grafting offers numerous advantages beyond aesthetic improvement. The procedure effectively halts gum recession, protects exposed root surfaces from decay, reduces tooth sensitivity, and strengthens the supporting tissues around teeth. These benefits contribute to improved oral health and enhanced smile confidence.
