Before you sign

Review this document before your appointment when possible. Your treating dentist must still explain the patient-specific treatment, benefits, material risks, alternatives—including no treatment—and answer your questions. Do not sign after receiving sedating medication.

1. Who this form is for

Fields marked * are required for a signed PDF.

Treating dentist

Dr. Jain & Dr. Gupta

2. What you are agreeing to

Proposed treatment

Gum tissue or a substitute material will be placed at the treatment site. Tissue may be taken from the palate or another oral site. The goal may be root coverage, greater tissue thickness, improved cleansability, protection of a tooth or implant, or improved contours.

Material risks and possible complications

  • Pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, bruising, wound opening, delayed healing, or graft loss.
  • Palatal donor-site discomfort or bleeding when the patient’s own tissue is used.
  • Incomplete root coverage, relapse, uneven color or contour, scarring, sensitivity, or need for additional grafting.
  • Damage to adjacent teeth, restorations, nerves, or blood vessels; temporary or permanent altered sensation is possible.

Reasonable alternatives

  • Observation and hygiene modification, restorative coverage, a different graft material or technique, or no treatment.
  • No treatment may allow recession, sensitivity, inflammation, or aesthetic concerns to persist or progress.

While you type, nothing is sent and no draft, analytics, or advertising script records your answers. Download builds the PDF in your browser, saves it to your device, and sends nothing — this website never transmits your completed form. Hand it to our staff at your visit so they can place it in your record. Once accepted there, it becomes part of your dental record and is protected under California’s Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (Civil Code § 56) and, where it applies, HIPAA.
