Grafts
Soft tissue grafts are small pieces of tissue taken from other areas and surgically implanted in the affected area. This helps to stop bone loss, the recession of gums, and even reduce pain-causing root sensitivity.
Dental Factoid
Most adults reported that they had seen a dentist within the past year. Over half (53%) said they last saw a dentist less than six months ago, while an additional 25% saw a dentist between six months ago and a year.
Some abnormalities, as well as advanced gum disease that cannot be treated periodontically or non-surgically, may require application of soft tissue grafts. Such procedures can be used to cover an exposed root or correct uneven gum lines.
