Healthy gums are the foundation of a beautiful, long-lasting smile. When gum disease progresses or cosmetic concerns arise, gum surgery can help restore both the health and appearance of your gums.
Gum surgery, also known as periodontal treatment, is used to treat advanced gum disease, repair damaged tissue, and improve the shape and balance of your gum line.
What to Expect
Most gum procedures are performed comfortably with local anesthesia. Recovery is typically quick, with mild tenderness that resolves within a few days. Our team will guide you through every step and provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure smooth healing.
A soft tissue graft is a dental procedure used to restore or rebuild your gums when they’ve receded or become thin
What does it do?
It involves taking a small piece of tissue (usually from the roof of your mouth or using donor tissue) and placing it where your gums are lacking.
This helps:
Connective tissue graft (most common)
Free gingival graft
