The recovery period following soft tissue grafting typically lasts one to two weeks. It’s good to know that it’s normal to experience some soreness and swelling at the grafting site after your procedure. However, this will subside after a few days as your tissue graft continues to heal.
Be sure to follow your post-procedural guidelines exactly as ordered by Dr. Stroumpos and take any prescriptions as instructed. Sutures usually dissolve or will be removed within a few days, and you should notice a significant improvement in the appearance of your gums within a few weeks.
