Gum grafting to treat recession typically costs AED 3,000 to 8,000 per site in Dubai, based on published clinic prices. A site may be one tooth or a small group of adjacent teeth. Using a tissue substitute instead of tissue from your palate usually adds cost.
Multi-tooth grafts using donor tissue substitutes or microsurgical techniques by a specialist periodontist can exceed AED 8,000.

- Address the causes of recession, such as hard brushing or grinding, so the graft is not wasted.

Frequently asked questions
Is gum grafting painful?
The area is numbed during the procedure. The palate donor site can be sore for 1 to 2 weeks; tissue substitutes avoid this.
Do I need a gum graft for receding gums?
Not always. Mild, stable recession is often monitored. A periodontist will advise based on sensitivity, gum thickness and whether it is progressing.
Does insurance cover gum grafts?
Sometimes, if medically necessary and pre-approved.
How long does healing take?
Initial healing takes 2 to 3 weeks, with full maturation over a few months.
