Soft tissue plasty

Have you ever wondered about the role of the gums in a person’s smile? Usually, everyone is concerned about the color, integrity, and placement of the teeth, but the gums also play a huge role in the overall aesthetics of the image.
The soft tissues of the oral cavity are subject to changes due to many factors. For example, as a consequence of trauma, inflammatory processes or physiological features. And very often plastic surgery of soft tissues is required by the patient not only for aesthetic reasons. Sometimes such surgical intervention is necessary in order to preserve the integrity of the teeth and the health of the oral cavity as a whole.

You will most likely have to resort to soft tissue grafting if you have:

• There is discomfort due to excessively long gums;
• due to the lack of soft tissue, the roots of the teeth are exposed;
• there are obstacles to implants or dentures;
• the soft tissues have been traumatized or serious inflammatory processes have been diagnosed in them;
• neoplasms in the oral cavity (cysts, fibromas, etc.) have been diagnosed;
• The frenulum of the tongue or lips is compromised.

This is by no means a complete list of situations in which the surgeons at City Smile Dental Center resort to soft tissue grafting. You can rest assured that if indicated, this procedure is completely safe and will not cause you any significant discomfort.

But its importance is hard to overestimate, because sometimes without it it is impossible to give a person a beautiful smile, get rid of discomfort in the oral cavity or save a sick tooth.
