Medically reviewed by Dr. Anshu Gupta, MDS (PGIMER Gold Medalist). Updated October 2026.
Gum grafting at Advanced Dental Care Centre in Chandigarh starts from ₹15,000 per quadrant. A quadrant is one quarter of the mouth. The final cost depends on the type of graft and how many areas need treatment. Dr. Anshu Gupta has over 25 years of clinical experience and a 4.8-star rating across 2,100+ Google reviews. Here is what gum grafting is, what affects its cost and what to expect.
What is gum grafting?
Gum grafting is a minor surgery that covers exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums. Healthy gum tissue is taken from another part of your mouth, or from a donor source, and stitched over the area where the gum has pulled back. It reduces sensitivity, protects the exposed root and improves the look of the gumline.
Do you need a gum graft?
Common signs are teeth that look longer than before, sensitivity to hot, cold or brushing, visible roots, or a notch at the gumline. Mild recession may only need a change in brushing technique and regular monitoring. A graft is usually advised when recession is progressing, the root is exposed or sensitive, or the gum around a tooth is too thin to protect it. We check this at the examination.
How much does gum grafting cost in Chandigarh?
Gum grafting starts from ₹15,000 per quadrant at our clinic. What changes the final cost:
1. Type of graft. Grafts that use your own tissue and grafts that use donor tissue are priced differently.
2. Number of areas. Treating several teeth in one quadrant, or more than one quadrant, changes the total.
3. Gum health. If gum disease is present, it needs to be treated first.
4. Other work. Scaling or other gum treatment may be done at the same time.
We give you a clear written estimate after examining your gums. Consultation is ₹400, and X-rays are charged separately.
Types of gum graft
Connective tissue graft. A small piece of tissue is taken from the roof of the mouth and placed over the exposed root. It is the most commonly used type for covering roots.
Free gingival graft. A thin layer of tissue from the palate is placed where the gum is too thin. It is often used to thicken the gum.
Pedicle graft. Gum next to the exposed tooth is moved sideways to cover the root. It suits teeth that have healthy gum beside them.
Donor tissue graft. Processed donor tissue is used, so no tissue needs to be taken from your palate. It can mean a more comfortable recovery.
What to expect during recovery
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic, so the procedure itself should not be painful. Afterwards the palate or gum can feel tender for several days, and most patients manage with simple pain relief. Eat soft, cool foods at first, avoid brushing the treated area until we say so, and attend your follow-up visit. Most people return to normal routines within a few days, and full healing takes a few weeks.
How long does a gum graft last?
A graft can last many years when the cause of the recession is addressed. Common causes are brushing too hard, gum disease and teeth grinding. We advise on brushing technique and, if needed, a night guard. Grafting does not guarantee that recession will never come back, so good home care and regular check-ups matter.
Is gum grafting covered by insurance?
Coverage varies between insurers and policies. Some insurers cover grafting when it is needed for gum health, so check with yours before treatment. We can give you a written estimate and treatment details for your claim.

Can receding gums grow back without surgery?
Gums do not grow back on their own. Mild recession can often be kept stable with gentle brushing and regular care. A graft is considered when the recession is progressing or the root is exposed.
