Gum and jawbone grafting

At Mina Digital Dentistry in Tabriz, we believe that a healthy, stable smile starts beneath the surface. That’s why we specialize in advanced soft and hard tissue grafting procedures designed to rebuild gums and jawbone structures. Whether you’re preparing for dental implants or recovering from periodontal disease, our expert surgeons restore what’s missing—so your treatment stands on solid ground.

What Is Gum and Bone Grafting—and Why Is It Necessary?

Gum and bone grafting refers to surgical techniques used to rebuild lost tissue, either due to gum disease, tooth loss, trauma, or congenital disabilities. These procedures:

• Recreate lost gum volume
• Regenerate bone for implant support
• Protect exposed tooth roots
• Improve esthetics in smile zones
• Prevent further deterioration and inflammation

If you suffer from gum recession, bone shrinkage after extractions, or failed implant sites, grafting is the first step toward achieving a permanent and functional restoration.

Gum Graft Techniques We Perform

Connective Tissue Graft

Ideal for exposed tooth roots. Tissue is taken from beneath the palate and transplanted to the affected area for coverage.

Free Gingival Graft

Used to thicken thin gums. A thin layer from the roof of the mouth is sutured to the recipient site.

Pedicle Graft

A flap of nearby gum is repositioned over the recession, preserving blood supply for faster healing.

Our periodontists choose the most suitable method based on your anatomy, needs, and healing profile.

Jawbone Grafting Techniques Offered

Socket Preservation

Performed immediately after tooth extraction to prevent bone collapse.

Ridge Augmentation

Rebuilds the height and width of the jawbone to allow implant placement and restore facial shape.

Sinus Lift

Raises the sinus membrane and places bone material in the upper jaw to support posterior implants.

Block Bone Graft

In cases of severe loss, a solid bone piece is secured to the jaw for structural rebuilding.

All materials are FDA-approved, sterilized, and selected for compatibility with your biology.

Biomaterials That Enhance Healing and Outcomes

We use cutting-edge regenerative additives, including:

• PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) from your blood to speed healing
• Xenografts and synthetic grafts for volume restoration
• Collagen membranes for guided tissue regeneration
• Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) to stimulate new bone formation

These tools significantly improve graft stability, integration, and comfort.

Our Grafting Process Step-by-Step

• Digital Diagnosis

Includes CBCT 3D imaging, periodontal probing, and intraoral scans.

• Custom Treatment Plan

We select the best technique and materials tailored to your case.

• Surgical Procedure

Carried out under local or general anesthesia with microsurgical instruments.

• Suturing and Protection

The graft is stabilized using dissolvable or non-dissolvable sutures and protected by biocompatible membranes.

• Follow-Up Care

We monitor your healing at 1 week, 4 weeks, and 3 months to ensure successful tissue regeneration and optimal outcomes.

Healing Timeline and Aftercare

• Gum grafts heal in 1–2 weeks initially, with full tissue stability by 6–8 weeks.
• Bone grafts require 3–6 months of healing before implants can be placed.

We provide:

• Pain medication and anti-inflammatories
• Oral care instructions and mouth rinse
• Soft diet and movement precautions
• Post-op hygiene and checkups

Following our protocol ensures optimal healing and implant readiness.

Why Grafting Is Essential Before Implants

Attempting to place implants in areas with poor gum or bone quality often results in:

• Poor osseointegration
• Aesthetic failures (receding gums, exposed crowns)
• Implant instability and early failure
• Increased risk of peri-implantitis

By rebuilding the foundation first, we ensure your implants last—and look amazing.

Costs and Payment Options

The cost of grafting depends on:

• Type of graft (gum vs. bone, single vs. multiple sites)
• Materials used (autograft, xenograft, PRF, membranes)
• Whether it’s combined with extractions or implants

We offer:

• Transparent, itemized pricing
• Discounted graft + implant packages

Your care is always personalized—and so is your financial plan.
