A number of periodontal plastic-surgical procedures are available to strengthen thin, weak gum tissue, as well as to enhance the cosmetic appearance of the soft tissues. They serve to help maintain teeth, treat sensitivity, or improve\u00a0<\/a>the esthetics of your smile. They include soft tissue grafts and esthetic crown lengthening.<\/p>\n

Soft Tissue Grafting (Long Teeth or Exposed Roots)<\/h2>\n

Connective Tissue Grafting<\/h3>\n

The unsightly \u201clong in the tooth\u201d appearance of a tooth caused by recession can be eliminated with the use of a connective tissue graft (which utilizes a small piece of tissue from the roof of the mouth). By achieving reattachment of the gum to the previously exposed root surface, the esthetics are improved and sensitivity is reduced or eliminated.<\/p>\n

Allogenic Grafting<\/h3>\n

Similar to a connective tissue graft, an allogeneic graft is used to treat the \u201clong in the tooth\u201d appearance. However, a piece of tissue from a donor bank is utilized instead of from the patient\u2019s mouth, which eliminates the additional healing site on the patient\u2019s palate (roof of mouth). The reattachment of the gum to the previously exposed root surface improves the esthetics and reduces or eliminates the sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
