Gum Grafting
Gum grafting addresses receding gums by augmenting the gumline with additional tissue. This treatment is essential for halting further gum recession, alleviating tooth sensitivity, and preventing potential tooth loss.
During the procedure, tissue is typically sourced from another area of the mouth or donor tissue to graft onto the affected site, resulting in a fuller and healthier gumline. Beyond enhancing the smile’s aesthetic appearance, gum grafting is crucial in promoting overall oral health by safeguarding tooth roots and reducing the likelihood of gum disease development.
Soft Tissue Grafts
Soft tissue grafts encompass a range of surgical procedures that extend beyond treating gum recession alone. These grafts are versatile in addressing various issues, such as repairing damaged or diseased gum tissue, enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the gums, and augmenting soft tissue for reasons unrelated to recession.
Whether restoring gum health compromised by periodontal disease, improving the symmetry of the gum line, or enhancing the contours of the gums for cosmetic purposes, soft tissue grafts play a pivotal role in achieving optimal oral health and aesthetic outcomes. These procedures often involve using tissue from the patient’s own mouth or using donor tissue to restore and rejuvenate the soft tissues, promoting both functional restoration and aesthetic enhancement.
