Plastic Gum Surgery to Restore Oral Health
Gum problems can cause pain, sensitivity, and even tooth loss. Gum surgery is an effective way to restore gum health and improve their appearance. At Dr. Gowds Dental Hospital, Hyderabad’s leading dental hospital, we offer advanced gum grafting, root coverage, and periodontal plastic surgery to ensure safe, effective treatment for both aesthetic and functional improvement.
Gum plastic surgery may be recommended to repair receding gums, cover exposed tooth roots, reshape uneven gum tissue, and improve gum health.
What is Plastic Surgery for Gums?
Gum plastic surgery includes procedures that repair, reshape, or restore gum tissues. It helps in covering exposed roots, treating gum recession, and improving the overall gum line. These procedures not only enhance appearance but also protect your teeth from sensitivity and decay.
Why is Gum Surgery Needed?
Gum issues can result from poor oral hygiene, aggressive brushing, genetics, or periodontal disease. Gum surgery is recommended for:
- Covering exposed roots to prevent sensitivity
- Treating gum recession caused by periodontal disease
- Improving the appearance of the gum line
- Supporting implantology procedures for better results
- Reducing further gum deterioration
The type of gum surgery recommended depends on the cause of gum damage, severity of recession, gum thickness, bone condition, and overall oral health.
Symptoms That Indicate You Need Gum Surgery
You may need gum surgery for gum-related problems if you experience:
- Gum recession exposing the tooth root
- Hyper-sensitive mouth to warm or cold foods
- Irregular contour of gum tissue
- Loose or weakened teeth
- Recurrent swellings of gum tissues

Treatment for Gum Surgery
The gum surgery procedure that we do systematically at our dental hospital in Hyderabad includes:

- Pre-procedure: A local anesthetic is administered. The rest of the process depends on how you tolerate the treatment.
- Gum Grafting/Reshaping: Depending on your condition, tissue may be taken from another part of your mouth to cover exposed roots or reshape the gums.
- Suturing & Healing: The area is meticulously sutured, and healing commences within a few weeks.
- Follow-up: Our dental team will provide post-surgical care instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing.
Possible Side Effects
Like any dental surgery, gum surgery may involve some minor side effects, which include:
- Swelling and minor discomfort
- Sensitivity in the treated area
- Minor bleeding for a few days
