Soft tissue grafts are periodontal procedures that cover exposed tooth roots, decrease sensitivity, and restore good health to the gum area. They involve taking gum tissue from one area (typically the palate) and attaching it to areas where gum recession has occurred. These procedures not only improve oral health but also enhance aesthetics by addressing a 'toothy' appearance or uneven-looking teeth caused by gum recession.
At London Dental Specialists, we offer several types of soft tissue grafts to address various gum recession issues:
Our specialists will recommend the most appropriate technique based on your specific needs.
During a soft tissue graft procedure at London Dental Specialists, you'll be completely numbed with local anaesthetic, ensuring you won't feel any pain during the treatment. Most patients experience only mild discomfort following the procedure, which can be effectively managed with prescribed pain medications. Our team provides comprehensive post-surgical instructions and follow-up care to minimise any discomfort and ensure proper healing.
Recovery after a soft tissue graft typically takes about 1-2 weeks for initial healing. Most patients can return to normal activities within a day or two, though you should avoid strenuous exercise for about a week. Complete healing and tissue maturation may take up to 6 weeks. During your recovery, you'll need to follow specific dietary guidelines and oral hygiene instructions provided by our specialists at London Dental Specialists to ensure optimal results.
Soft tissue grafts offer numerous benefits, including:
At London Dental Specialists, our procedures are designed to provide long-lasting results for both function and appearance.
Good candidates for soft tissue grafting at London Dental Specialists include patients experiencing gum recession due to periodontal disease, aggressive tooth brushing, genetic factors, or orthodontic treatment. You may benefit from a graft if you have tooth sensitivity, visible root surfaces, or concerns about the aesthetic appearance of your smile. Our specialists will conduct a thorough examination to determine if soft tissue grafting is appropriate for your specific situation.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, soft tissue grafts can last a lifetime. The longevity of your graft depends on maintaining good oral health practices, including gentle brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush, daily flossing, and attending regular professional cleanings at London Dental Specialists. Avoiding tobacco products and addressing any teeth grinding habits will also help ensure the long-term success of your graft.
After a soft tissue graft procedure at London Dental Specialists, you should consume soft, cool foods for the first few days. Recommended foods include:
Avoid spicy, acidic, crunchy, or hard foods that could irritate the surgical site. Also, do not use straws as the suction can disrupt healing.
You might need a soft tissue graft if you notice signs such as teeth appearing longer than normal, visible root surfaces, increased tooth sensitivity, or changes in the appearance of your smile. Gum recession often occurs gradually, so regular dental check-ups at London Dental Specialists are essential for early detection. Our specialists can identify gum recession before it becomes severe and recommend appropriate treatment options, including soft tissue grafting when necessary.
