Restore and Protect Your Gum Health with Tissue Grafting in Dubai
When gum tissue recedes or becomes too thin, the roots of your teeth can become exposed, leading to sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and changes in the appearance of your smile. At the American Medical & Dental Center, we provide tissue grafting in Dubai to restore lost gum tissue, protect exposed tooth roots, and create a healthier foundation around your teeth.
Treatment is carefully planned around the extent of the recession, the condition of your gums, and the underlying cause to achieve stable, natural-looking results.
What Is Tissue Grafting?
Tissue grafting, also known as gum grafting or soft tissue grafting, is a periodontal procedure used to replace or reinforce gum tissue around the teeth.
Gum recession can occur for several reasons, including periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, naturally thin gum tissue, tooth position, or other factors. As the gums recede, the root surface becomes exposed. Unlike the crown of your tooth, the root isn't protected by enamel, which is why recession can lead to increased sensitivity and a greater risk of root decay.
During a tissue grafting procedure at AMDC in Dubai, additional tissue is placed in the affected area to cover an exposed root or strengthen thin gums. Depending on your individual needs, the graft may come from another area of your mouth or an appropriate grafting material may be recommended.
Benefits of Tissue Grafting
Covers and protects exposed tooth roots- Helps reduce sensitivity caused by gum recession
- Reinforces thin or vulnerable gum tissue
- Helps prevent further recession and root damage
- Supports the long-term health and stability of your teeth
What to Expect
Your visit to AMDC in Dubai begins with a comprehensive periodontal examination. We'll assess the amount of gum recession, the health and thickness of the surrounding tissue, and the condition of the teeth and supporting structures. Digital imaging may also be recommended when we need to evaluate the underlying bone.
If tissue grafting is appropriate, we'll explain the type of graft recommended and what you can expect from the procedure. The area is comfortably numbed with local anaesthetic before the graft is carefully positioned and secured around the affected tooth or teeth.
Why Choose AMDC?
Successful tissue grafting begins with understanding why the gum has receded. At AMDC in Dubai, we assess the underlying cause before recommending surgery and consider conservative treatment whenever appropriate.
Patients choose AMDC because we provide:
- Comprehensive periodontal assessment before treatment
- Careful evaluation of gum recession and supporting tissues
- Treatment planning tailored to the location and severity of recession
- Gentle surgical techniques focused on preserving healthy tissue
- Clear aftercare guidance and follow-up throughout healing
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Book Appointment
When is tissue grafting necessary?
Tissue grafting may be recommended when gum recession has exposed tooth roots, caused sensitivity, compromised the surrounding tissue, or created a risk of further recession. Not every case requires grafting, so we'll first determine whether a surgical or non-surgical approach is most appropriate.
Can receding gums grow back naturally?
No. Gum tissue does not grow back on its own once it has receded. Treating the cause can stop further recession, and a tissue graft can restore coverage over exposed roots.
Is tissue grafting painful?
The procedure is carried out with local anaesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during it. Some tenderness and swelling afterwards is normal and usually settles within a few days with the aftercare we provide.
How long does a gum graft take to heal?
Initial healing usually takes one to two weeks, and the tissue continues to mature over the following weeks. We'll review the area at follow-up visits to make sure it is healing well.
