What is Soft Tissue Grafting?
Soft tissue grafting, also known as gum grafting, is a simple surgical procedure performed by a periodontist to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of gum recession. You may also choose to have a soft tissue graft to improve the appearance of your smile.
Why would I need a Soft Tissue Graft?
One of the main reasons a dental specialist may perform a soft tissue graft is due to gum recession. Gum recession is when the tissue surrounding the tooth pulls away and exposes more of the tooth or the tooth’s root.
This causes damage to the supporting bone and is a common dental problem. Another reason to perform a soft tissue graft is to improve your smile if your gum tissue covers a majority of your teeth, giving you a “gummy” smile.
