Soft-Tissue Graft

What Is a Soft-Tissue Graft?

Dentist Augusta

A soft-tissue graft is a periodontal procedure that restores and strengthens gum tissue lost due to gum disease, trauma, or recession. Gum recession can expose tooth roots, leading to sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and aesthetic concerns. During a soft-tissue graft, tissue is usually taken from the patient’s palate or a donor source and carefully attached to areas with insufficient gum coverage. This procedure not only improves the appearance of the gums but also protects teeth from further damage and reduces sensitivity. Soft-tissue grafts are often used in combination with other periodontal treatments to enhance overall gum health and maintain long-term oral stability.

At Summerville Dentistry, soft-tissue grafting is performed with precision and patient comfort in mind. Our team assesses gum recession, determines the best grafting technique, and carefully monitors healing throughout recovery.

  Very kind,  efficient and very knowledgeable staff.  I feel very well taken cared of at this practice. Highly recommend them! Recently had some broken tooth issues and with some other medical issues I was having at the time, made it difficult to communicate well with staff. Dr. Bish, Dr. Harper, Nikki (sp) were so accommodating, so helpful and did a great job! Have always enjoyed the great care of Robin and the front staff personnel were great!
