Soft Tissue Grafting Beverly Hills

Having thick and healthy gums that cover the roots of the teeth is essential for the longevity of our teeth.  This procedure restores the healthy band of gum that supports the underlying bone. Thin and receded gums are typically more subject to gingivitis and  periodontitis (bone loss).  There are several different types of soft tissue grafting. The choice of soft tissue graft depends on the preference of the periodontist and whether root coverage is part of the goal of the treatment. In our periodontal office the most common soft tissue grafting used is “Subepithelial Connective Tissue grafting”. This treatment reestablishes a thick healthy band of gum, covers exposed unhealthy roots and has the most ideal cosmetic result.

 Here at the Beverly Hills Periodontics and Dental Implant Center, our skilled medical professionals have developed a solid reputation as the ultimate destination for soft tissue grafting in Beverly Hills. Thin or recessed gums make you substantially more vulnerable to gingivitis and periodontitis (bone loss). Our technique for soft tissue grafting in Beverly Hills is known as “subepithelial connective tissue grafting,” which basically involves restoring a thick and healthy gum band to cover up exposed roots and provide you with a lasting cosmetic result

In some cases, because of long crowns or fillings on the roots from previous deep cavities, a tooth can have an unpleasant appearance. Additionally,  restorations which have invaded deep within the tissues may even cause more recession.   In most cases the part of the restoration that covers the root can be replaced with a gum graft for a much more natural and cosmetic appearance.  The natural, thick soft tissue band protects the gum and slows down the bone loss process.  Today, we also have the advantage of using donored grafted tissues. This treatment is a good alternative for eligible patients who prefer minimally invasive surgical procedures. This procedure cuts down the treatment time to almost half and avoids a second surgical site.
