What Is Soft Tissue Graft Treatment?
.avif)
Common Types of Gum Grafts
- Connective tissue graft (most common for root coverage)
- Free gingival graft (used for thinning gum tissue)
- Pedicle graft (uses nearby gum tissue for support)
Each method is selected based on the severity of gum recession and your individual oral health needs.
Why Patients May Need Gum Grafting
Gum recession can happen gradually and is often caused by periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, genetics, or aging. When left untreated, it can increase the risk of decay, discomfort, and tooth loss.
Soft tissue grafting may be recommended if you experience:
- Tooth sensitivity from exposed roots
- Visible gum recession or uneven gum lines
- Increased risk of cavities near the gumline
- A desire to improve smile aesthetics and balance
This treatment not only restores gum health but also strengthens long-term oral stability.
What to Expect During Your Procedure
At Smile Dental Care, we prioritize comfort and clarity throughout your treatment. Gum grafting is performed with precision and local anesthesia to ensure a smooth experience.
- Comprehensive periodontal evaluation and treatment planning
- Gentle removal or repositioning of gum tissue
