Gum graft surgery typically takes 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the number of teeth treated and the graft type. Recovery time is about 1–2 weeks, with full healing in 4–8 weeks. Follow your dentist's care instructions for the best results.
Generally 60-90 minutes. It is a delicate surgery and if they are using your own tissue you will have a harvest site on the roof of your mouth usually.
