We regularly receive referrals from general dentists for complex gum recession cases.
Gum recession is when the gum tissue gradually pulls away from the teeth, exposing the sensitive tooth roots. It is often caused by gum disease, over-brushing, grinding or the natural ageing process. Left untreated, recession can lead to root sensitivity, decay and even tooth loss.
A gum graft (also called a gingival or soft-tissue graft) restores the lost tissue, covers exposed roots and protects your teeth for the long term. At our Harley Street clinic, gum grafting is carried out by specialist periodontist Dr Gita Auplish.
Treatment begins with a detailed consultation and periodontal assessment. Dr Auplish will recommend the most appropriate technique for your gums:
All grafting is carried out gently under local anaesthetic using minimally invasive techniques for faster, more comfortable healing.
Soft-tissue grafting is precise, technique-sensitive work — experience matters. Dr Gita Auplish is a hospital consultant and GDC-registered specialist periodontist with over 25 years of advanced training and clinical success. Known for her gentle, honest approach and meticulous technique, Gita delivers natural-looking results while putting even the most nervous patients at ease.
If you recognise any of these, an early assessment with a specialist gives you the widest range of treatment options.
Every case is different, so pricing depends on the number of teeth involved and the technique used. Your consultation with Dr Gita Auplish includes a full assessment and a written treatment plan, so you will know the exact cost before anything begins. Full fees are on our Fees & Finance page, and 0% interest-free finance is available to spread the cost.
Cost depends on how many teeth need treating and the grafting technique used. After your consultation and assessment, Dr Gita Auplish provides a written quote so you know the full cost upfront. Fees are on our Fees & Finance page and 0% interest-free finance is available.
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you will not feel pain during treatment. Most patients describe recovery as milder than expected, managed with over-the-counter pain relief and simple aftercare.
Initial healing usually takes one to two weeks, with full soft-tissue healing over a few weeks. Dr Auplish will give you clear aftercare guidance and follow-up appointments.
It is rarely too late to assess — but the earlier recession is treated, the more predictable the result and the more tooth you can protect. Even advanced recession can often be improved, so it is always worth a specialist opinion.
No — gum tissue does not regenerate by itself. A gum graft is the proven way to replace lost tissue and cover exposed roots.
Depending on the cause and severity, options can include treating underlying gum disease first or less invasive techniques. Dr Auplish will explain every suitable option at your consultation.
No referral is needed — you can self-refer. We also welcome referrals from general dentists for complex recession cases.
Yes, but any active gum disease is stabilised first. Treating the underlying disease protects the graft and gives the best long-term result.
