The way I like to treat my patients is the way I like to be treated! Having very thin gums and recession myself, I have actually had 4 gum grafting procedure done (so far), so I totally understand what my patients go through.
I always choose to use the least invasive technique that will allow the best results with the fastest recovery. I use tiny little instruments (microsurgery) to move the gums back to their normal position and some procedures don’t even need sutures.
Any discomfort afterwards is well managed by icing the outside of the face and alternating Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen for a few days. It is much easier to manage discomfort by preventing it.
You can also choose to have this procedure done under some form of sedation to make the experience a pleasant one.
