Advanced Gum Grafting & Root Coverage
Rebuild Your Gumline. Eliminate Sensitivity. Protect Exposed Roots.
Structural Protection & Aesthetic Restoration
Gum recession is a severe structural compromise, not merely a cosmetic flaw. When your gum tissue pulls back, it exposes the underlying tooth root. Unlike the crown of your tooth, the root is not protected by dense, hard enamel. It is highly porous, making it extremely vulnerable to rapid bacterial decay, physical wear, and intense, sharp sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures.
At Rattan Dental Care, our Periodontist, Dr. Manvi Narula, specializes in advanced root coverage and gum grafting procedures to reverse this biological damage. Utilizing precision microsurgical techniques at our Greater Noida clinic, we meticulously rebuild your natural gumline, thickening the surrounding tissue to halt further recession and permanently encasing your vulnerable roots. Restore your oral architecture, eliminate sensitivity, and reclaim your aesthetic confidence with specialist-driven periodontal care.

The Hidden Causes of Gum Recession
Gum tissue does not recede without a trigger. The most common cause is chronic mechanical trauma—brushing your teeth far too aggressively with a hard-bristled brush literally scrubs the gums away over time. Other major catalysts include severe nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism) which flexes the teeth and destroys the delicate tissue at the gumline, advanced periodontal disease, and even genetic predispositions to naturally thin gum biotypes. Identifying and stopping the root cause is our first clinical priority.
The Microsurgical Grafting Protocol
As a periodontal specialist, Dr. Manvi Narula executes advanced grafting procedures with extreme surgical finesse to ensure a seamless, natural-looking result:
- Connective Tissue Grafts: The gold standard for root coverage. We harvest a tiny piece of sub-epithelial connective tissue from the roof of your mouth (the palate) and meticulously suture it over the exposed root. This tissue integrates with your existing gums, permanently raising the gumline.
- Free Gingival Grafts: Used when the gums are dangerously thin but the root is not heavily exposed. We transfer tissue to the base of the tooth to artificially thicken the gum wall, creating a biological shield that prevents any future recession from occurring.
- Alloderm (Donor Matrix) Options: For patients requiring grafting on multiple teeth who wish to avoid a secondary surgical site on their palate, we utilize premium, sterilized dermal matrices to achieve excellent root coverage and tissue thickening.
The Danger of Ignoring Exposed Roots
An exposed tooth root is an active clinical liability. Root cementum is vastly softer than enamel. Normal daily brushing will begin to carve a physical notch into the exposed root. Furthermore, because roots do not have an enamel shield, the microscopic tubules leading directly to the tooth nerve are completely open to the oral environment. This is what causes agonizing pain when you drink ice water or eat sweet foods. Grafting seals these tubules permanently.
The Aesthetic Upgrade
Beyond the critical medical benefits, root coverage surgery delivers a massive aesthetic upgrade. Receded gums create the illusion of “long teeth,” prematurely aging your smile. By restoring the gumline to its proper, symmetrical height, Dr. Narula returns your smile to its youthful, mathematically balanced proportions.
