Gum Graft Surgery Types in Antalya, Turkey
Each gum transplant dental treatment has its characteristics and advantages, and the choice of a specific method depends on the surgeon’s recommendations and the condition of the gums.
Free Gum Graft Surgery
In this type of dental transplantation, the surgeon takes gingival tissue from a donor area in the mouth (usually the roof of the mouth) and transfers it to the exposed roots of the teeth or other areas in need.
The donor site is selected in such a way as to minimise possible complications and ensure successful healing at both the donor site and the transplant site.
Connective Tissue Transplantation
In this dental procedure, the surgeon removes a thin layer of connective tissue from a donor area in the mouth (usually mobile mucosa) and transplants it to the desired gingival areas.
This method is often used to cover exposed teeth roots and has the advantage of preserving gum aesthetics.
Rotated Flap Transplantation
In this dental method, the surgeon creates a flap of tissue from a healthy gingival area and rotates it to cover the needed area.
This method is often used in cases where large areas of gum need to be covered or when multiple areas need to be restored at the same time.

FAQ
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease affecting surrounding tissues supporting the teeth and the gums. This is due to a bacterial infection that destroys the gums, bones and ligaments that support the teeth.
With periodontitis, your gums become inflamed, bleed when you brush your teeth, and gum recession occurs, which can expose the roots of your teeth.
Typically, gum graft surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, which reduces pain and discomfort during the procedure.
After transplantation, some discomfort may occur, but it is manageable.
Yes, there are some risks, which may include the following:
- infections in the operated area (rare);
- slight bleeding after surgery;
- tissue rejection (rare);
- increased sensitivity in the gingival area;
- contour deformation after surgery, which can be corrected.
- Regularly brush your teeth and interdental spaces and use dental floss.
- Professional teeth cleaning and gingival monitoring can help identify signs of periodontitis early.
- Avoid smoking, reduce sugar intake and maintain a healthy diet.
- Use antiseptic or antibacterial medicines according to recommendations.
Typically, the first few weeks after dental surgery are considered critical for healing. Healing period can take up to 3-4 months, but gradual improvement may last much longer.
It is best to consult a specialist at the first sign of gum problems to prevent further deterioration and teeth loss. The sooner dental treatment begins, the better results you can expect.
However, even with significant gingival recession or other gum tissue problems, gum dental transplantation can be effective in restoring gum health and improving oral health.
