Types of Soft Tissue Grafting
We specializes in several types of soft tissue grafting procedures at our dental office tailored to meet your specific needs:
- Connective Tissue Grafts — We take tissue from beneath the roof of your mouth and use it to cover exposed roots. It’s a highly effective way to treat gum recession.
- Free Gingival Grafts — With this type of graft, we take tissue directly from the roof of your mouth and graft it to the affected area to thicken the gums and prevent further recession.
- Pedicle Grafts — For some patients, tissue can be taken from an area adjacent to the gum recession and repositioned to cover the exposed root, eliminating the need for donor tissue.
- Allograft — This type of graft uses medically processed donated human tissue proven safe and effective.
