About free gingival graft

In free gingival graft, the surgical team aims to treat disease or structural problems of the teeth, gums, and supporting tissues while preserving oral function where possible. The operation may be discussed in cases of decay, infection, impaction, periodontal disease, tooth loss, or another dental condition requiring surgery. Final suitability and operative details are decided by a dental / periodontal surgeon after examination and review of the relevant records. The listed India price is an estimate for comparison and must be confirmed after clinical review.

Why it may be recommended

Decay, infection, impaction, periodontal disease, tooth loss, or another dental condition requiring surgery.

Purpose of the procedure

Treat disease or structural problems of the teeth, gums, and supporting tissues while preserving oral function where possible.

Before Surgery

Consultation

Yes. Before booking free gingival graft, arrange a consultation with a Dental / periodontal surgeon. Use that visit to confirm whether the procedure fits your condition, what approach and anaesthesia are being considered, and what recovery is realistic for you.

Assessment and tests

Before free gingival graft, you may be asked to complete or provide the following: dental examination with appropriate X-rays or 3-D imaging; review of bleeding risk, diabetes control, allergies, and relevant medical conditions before invasive treatment. The exact work-up depends on your age, medical history, diagnosis, and the hospital's anaesthesia protocol.

Fasting guidance

If sedation or anaesthesia is planned for free gingival graft, follow the fasting time given by your hospital. Do not guess the cut-off time: instructions can differ for solid food, clear fluids, children, diabetes, and emergency procedures.

Medication guidance

Bring an up-to-date list of every prescription medicine, over-the-counter drug, vitamin, herbal product, and supplement you use. Before free gingival graft, do not stop blood thinners, diabetes medicines, steroids, heart medicines, or other regular treatment on your own; ask for written instructions from the treating team.

Blood preparation

Routine blood reservation is not always needed for free gingival graft. Your hospital may still request a blood group-and-screen if your medical history, anaemia, or the planned technique makes bleeding more likely.

Implants or devices

free gingival graft may involve an implant, graft, prosthesis, stent, lens, mesh, fixation device, or other consumable depending on the exact technique. Ask for the planned device or material, whether it is included in the quoted price, and whether there are alternative options.

Preparation checklist

Before free gingival graft, complete your specialist review and gather the reports that support the diagnosis. Follow the hospital's written fasting and medication instructions, arrange transport home if needed, and plan practical help for the first part of recovery.

Recovery & Aftercare

Expected recovery

After free gingival graft, initial soreness and swelling often settle over several days; soft-tissue healing commonly takes 1–2 weeks, while bone grafts and implants require longer biological healing. Your own recovery may be faster or slower depending on the exact technique, your overall health, and whether complications occur.

Activity restrictions

After free gingival graft, follow the activity limits written on your discharge plan. Keep activity light for the first day or two; avoid smoking/vaping and follow the dentist's advice on chewing, oral hygiene, and strenuous exercise If the instructions are unclear, ask before increasing lifting, driving, exercise, sport, or work.

Wound or operation-site care

Care for the operation site after free gingival graft exactly as shown at discharge. Protect the clot or surgical site, use prescribed mouth rinses only as directed, and keep the mouth clean without traumatizing the wound. Diet may need to stay soft temporarily Do not add creams, powders, herbs, antiseptics, or dressings unless your care team has approved them.

Follow-up

Plan to attend your first review after free gingival graft when your hospital schedules it; for many operations this is within 1–2 weeks. Later visits depend on healing, test or pathology results, symptoms, and rehabilitation.

Risks & When to Seek Help

Before you consent to free gingival graft, ask your surgeon to explain the risks that matter most in your case. These can include bleeding, infection, blood clots, pain, wound problems, anaesthetic complications, and the possibility that the expected benefit is incomplete.

Urgent warning signs
After free gingival graft, seek urgent medical help if you develop any of the following: seek urgent dental or medical review for bleeding that will not stop, rapidly increasing facial/neck swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, high fever, or severe pain that is worsening rather than settling.

Patient Instructions

Special instructions

For free gingival graft: Bring dental X-rays or CBCT images, your medicine list, and details of any heart condition, bleeding disorder, or anti-resorptive treatment. Ask whether bone grafts, implants, or plates are included.

Booking requirements

To request a booking for free gingival graft, have your referral or clinic note, relevant scans or test reports, previous operation notes if applicable, medicine list, allergy history, and photo ID ready. Do not treat an online reservation as final until the hospital has reviewed your information and confirmed that the procedure, date, and price apply to you.

What the benchmark may include

The ₦415,000 shown for free gingival graft in India is an indicative starting price for the core surgical service, not a guaranteed final bill. Before paying, ask for an itemised quotation showing the surgeon, anaesthesia, theatre, standard hospital stay, routine medicines/consumables, and any implant or device that is included.

Possible extra costs

For free gingival graft, the final bill can rise if you need extra hospital or ICU days, blood products, premium implants/devices, additional imaging or pathology, treatment of complications, extra specialist reviews, rehabilitation, or medicines after discharge. Ask the hospital which of these are outside the quoted amount.

Other useful instructions

Use your consultation for free gingival graft to write down the expected benefit, alternatives, major risks, recovery milestones, likely time away from work, and the total estimated cost. Keep a copy of the final consent and quotation.
