Soft tissue surgeries are surgical procedures used to treat the gums and other soft tissues in the mouth. These procedures help address gum diseases, gum recession, aesthetic issues, and other soft tissue problems.

Types of Soft Tissue Surgeries

Gingival Graft:

Description: Gingival grafts involve using tissue from other areas or synthetic materials to cover areas with insufficient gum tissue. This procedure helps regenerate gums in patients with gum recession.
Procedure: Missing gum tissue is covered with graft material from other areas under local anesthesia. Grafts help reshape the gums.

Bone Graft:

Description: Bone grafting is used in areas with insufficient bone tissue under the gums. This procedure helps regenerate bone tissue.
Procedure: Bone grafts are placed to repair missing bone tissue, providing a solid foundation for the teeth.

Frenectomy:

Procedure: This procedure is performed under local anesthesia to remove excess frenulum tissue.

Gum Curettage:
