Gum Grafting at Wins Dental, Jamsil Seoul

Wins Dental proudly serves patients from Gangnam, Jamsil, and Songpa, welcoming visitors from across the greater Seoul area.

Receding gums can make teeth look long, increase sensitivity, and put roots at risk. At Wins Dental (Jamsil, Seoul), our gum grafting treatments restore lost tissue, protect exposed roots, and improve the balance of your smile—using conservative, comfort-focused techniques.

What Is Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting (soft-tissue augmentation) adds healthy tissue to areas of recession. By thickening and repositioning the gums, we cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and create a stronger barrier against further wear and inflammation.

Who Is It For?

  • Gum recession from brushing abrasion, thin biotype, orthodontics, or clenching
  • Tooth sensitivity to cold or touch from exposed roots
  • Root coverage needed before/after veneers, crowns, or orthodontics
  • Thin or fragile gums around teeth or implants that need reinforcement

Types of Gum Grafts We Provide

  • Connective Tissue Graft (CTG): Gold-standard for root coverage and thickening around front teeth
  • Free Gingival Graft (FGG): Adds keratinized (tough) tissue to stabilize areas prone to pulling or irritation
  • Allograft / Collagen Matrix (Case-Dependent): Donor or collagen material when appropriate to reduce second surgical site
  • Tunnel / Minimally Invasive Approaches: Smaller incisions, improved comfort and esthetics where anatomy allows

(Your dentist will recommend the most predictable option based on recession depth, tissue thickness, and smile goals.)

Our Process

  1. Evaluation & Photos – Measure recession, assess tissue quality, review bite and hygiene
  2. Treatment Planning – Choose graft type, discuss expected root coverage and esthetics
  3. Procedure Day – Local anesthesia; precise graft placement and gentle suturing
  4. Healing & Reviews – Check healing at 1–2 weeks; final evaluation at 6–8 weeks
  5. Prevention Plan – Brushing technique, night guard if indicated, maintenance intervals

Benefits You’ll Notice

  • Reduced sensitivity to cold and touch
  • Healthier, thicker gums that resist future recession
  • Improved symmetry and more balanced tooth proportions
  • Protection of roots and better long-term stability for crowns/veneers

Aftercare & Recovery

  • Expect mild swelling/tenderness for a few days; most patients resume normal routine in 24–48 hours
  • Soft diet and avoid hot/spicy foods for several days
  • Do not brush the graft area until instructed; use a prescribed rinse
  • Take medications as directed; avoid smoking to support healing
  • Follow scheduled rechecks and professional cleanings

Risks & Safety

Gum grafting is predictable when gums are infection-free and hygiene is stable. We screen for periodontal disease, manage systemic risks (e.g., smoking, diabetes), and provide clear instructions to support uncomplicated healing.

FAQs

Will it look natural?
Yes. We blend color and contour to match adjacent tissue for a seamless result.

Is the procedure painful?
Local anesthesia and gentle technique keep you comfortable; most patients report manageable post-op soreness.

Will the recession come back?
Proper brushing, bite management, and tissue thickening significantly reduce the risk of recurrence.
