"My patient needs were addressed professionally and respected. I have felt valued on each of my visits. Thank you."
"Every experience with Townesquare Dental has been great! I have had cavities filled, wisdom teeth removed and a skin graft done on my lower gums. They have always taken good care of me. I have always heard horror stories of skin grafts and wisdom teeth from many people and when I had mine done it wasn't a bad experience in the slightest. Everyone that I know who has their wisdom teeth out here at Townesquare Dental has had an amazing experience with little to no pain, swelling or infections afterward. I always recommend Townesquare Dental to anyone looking for more invasive oral procedures." Jordan from Idaho Falls.
Soft tissue grafts are sometimes performed to treat gum disease, or correct other abnormalities.
The procedure involves taking gum tissue from the palate or another donor source to cover an exposed root in order to even the gum line and reduce sensitivity.
Periodontal procedures are available to stop further dental problems and gum recession, and to improve the aesthetics of your gum line. For example, an exposed tooth root resulting from gum recession may not be causing you pain or sensitivity, but is causing one or more of your teeth to look longer than the others. In other cases, an exposed tooth root causes severe pain because it is exposed to extremes in temperatures or different kinds of food and liquids.
Once contributing factors are controlled, a soft tissue graft procedure will repair the defect and help to prevent additional recession and bone loss.
