Soft Tissue Grafts

Soft tissue grafts are able to restore the gum line to a more pleasing shape. This technique may be needed due to the damage done from gum disease, trauma to the gums, or as an adjunct to implant placement. Gum restoration not only makes a dramatic difference in the smile, it can also reduce tooth sensitivity, prevent additional gum recession and bone loss, and improve some speech impediments.

We perform sub epithelial connective tissue grafts and dermal matrix grafts due to the beautiful, predictable results and minimal patient discomfort. During the procedure, underlying tissue in the roof of the mouth is gently harvested. The removed tissue is then
slipped under existing gum tissue in the treatment area and anchored with sutures.

Unlike older procedures, the newer advanced techniques Dr. Lamberts uses promote rapid healing with
minimal or no discomfort and superior esthetic results with better smile lines.
