Soft Tissue Grafting: Restoring Gum Health for Your Smile
A specialized procedure to protect your teeth from gum recession and enhance the aesthetics of your smile.
What is Soft Tissue Grafting?
Soft tissue grafting, also known as gum grafting, is a simple and effective surgical procedure performed by a periodontist.
This treatment is used to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of gum recession, a condition where the gum tissue pulls away from the tooth, exposing more of the tooth or its root.
The Procedure
Our periodontist will perform this procedure with a gentle, patient-focused approach.
The process involves taking a small amount of healthy gum tissue from another area of your mouth and meticulously placing it over the area of recession.
This new tissue will help to cover the exposed root and stop further recession, restoring the health and natural look of your smile.
