Soft Tissue Grafting in Nashville, TN

Older woman looking at her teeth in a mirror, nashville tnAt Sullivan Dental Partners, we provide comprehensive care that keeps your smile healthy and beautiful. One of our specialized services is soft tissue grafting, which restores gum tissue and enhances your smile.

Whether you’re dealing with gum recession or want to improve the appearance of your gums, we are here to help.

What Is Soft Tissue Grafting?                             

Soft tissue grafting is a surgical procedure to restore gum tissue that has thinned due to periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, poor bite, or genetics. This procedure helps protect your teeth but also improves the overall aesthetics of your smile by creating a more even gum line.

Benefits of Soft Tissue Grafting

There are several reasons why our periodontist might recommend soft tissue grafting to protect your oral health.

Protect Exposed Tooth Roots
Gum recession can expose tooth roots, leading to increased sensitivity and a higher risk of decay. Grafting covers these roots to reduce discomfort and protect your teeth.
Prevent Further Recession
Left untreated, gum recession can progress. Soft tissue grafting provides a stable foundation to prevent further gum loss and helps maintain your oral health.
Improve Smile Aesthetics
Uneven or receding gums can affect the appearance of your smile. Soft tissue grafting evens out the gumline, enhancing the beauty of your teeth and giving you a more confident smile.

Types of Soft Tissue Grafting

  • 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.

The Soft Tissue Grafting Procedure
