Soft Tissue Grafts

Repairing gum damage, receding gums.

If your tooth root is exposed due to receded gums, corrective periodontal surgery may be the treatment for you. This procedure can be performed not only to prevent further loss of the gingival tissues, but to dramatically improve your smile. During this treatment, gingival tissue is taken from the patients own mouth and placed over the exposed root. This prevents further recession and bone loss, relieves sensitivity, and maintains the overall health of the tooth. Healing is quick and post-op discomfort is minimal due to the abundant blood supply to the gingival tissue.

Estimated treatment time You will need one office visit for the actual treatment and then another post-operative visit about 10 days later to monitor the healing.
