Gum Soft Tissue Grafting:
Benefits

Gum soft tissue grafting offers significant advantages for patients experiencing gum recession. The procedure reduces tooth sensitivity by covering exposed root surfaces and prevents further gum recession from progressing. Additional benefits include:

• Protection against root decay and cavities
• Improved appearance of your smile
• Enhanced gum tissue thickness and stability
• Long-lasting results

During gum soft tissue grafting, Dr. Esmael Valdez carefully places healthy tissue over areas of recession to rebuild your gum line. The procedure typically uses tissue from your palate or donor material, depending on your specific needs. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment, and healing occurs gradually over several weeks. Follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and optimal results for your gum tissue restoration.
