FAQs
What is soft tissue grafting?
Soft tissue grafting is a dental procedure that restores lost or receded gum tissue by transplanting healthy tissue, usually from the roof of your mouth, to areas where gums have pulled away from your teeth.
Is soft tissue grafting painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during and after the procedure. We use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable, and we provide detailed post-op care instructions to ease healing.
How long does it take to recover from soft tissue grafting?
Recovery typically takes one to two weeks. During this time, it’s important to follow our guidelines to avoid irritating the graft site and ensure the best results.
Will soft tissue grafting improve tooth sensitivity?
Yes, covering exposed tooth roots with healthy gum tissue can reduce sensitivity caused by gum recession and protect teeth from further damage.
How do I know if I need soft tissue grafting?
If you notice gum recession, tooth sensitivity, or longer-looking teeth, it’s a good idea to schedule an evaluation at Crenshaw & Slauson Family Dentistry. Our team will assess your gums and recommend the best treatment options for you.
