Periodontal and Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Enhancement

Gingiva recession around teeth and dental implants can cause problems because of the weakened foundation that is necessary to hold the teeth in place. This surgical method aims to improve the shape and structure of the times, addressing a variety of soft tissue defects that can occur. Not only are these connective tissue grafts helpful for aesthetic reasons, but they are also crucial for functional purposes as well.

 

Tissue Graft: Root Coverage, Treatment of Gingival Recession, Treatment of Sensitive Teeth, and Minimally Invasive Tissue Graft (Pinhole Surgical Technique)

Gingiva recession can cause too much of the tooth and root to be exposed, resulting in damage that might require surgery to restore the appearance and function of your smile. Receding gingiva not only affects the appearance of your smile but can also result in increased tooth sensitivity because of the exposure of the tooth root.

However, when the gingiva tissue starts to pull away from the teeth, a tissue graft can be used to stop the progression of gingival recession and recover the damaged areas. Several types of gingiva tissue grafts are available, depending on the severity and location of your gingival recession. We also offer Minimally Invasive Gingival Rejuvenation (Pinhole Technique) and several approaches of Gingival Graft. Call us to learn more and to see if this treatment is right for you.
