Hard and soft tissue grafting
Gum disease can lead to decay and even loss of bone tissue. However, our specialist dentists use the most innovative new techniques to help stop and even reverse the issue by performing hard and soft tissue grafting.
Hard tissue grafting
We can stimulate growth by replacing lost bone with either natural or synthetic bone in the location where it was lost. We can even perform guided tissue regeneration to prevent gum tissue from growing in the area where the bone should be.
Soft tissue grafting
Soft tissue grafting helps to correct and prevent the progression of receding gums, which can expose the roots of your teeth and leave you vulnerable to sensitivity and decay.
Our specialist dentists will do this by taking tissue from another area of your gum or mouth, or use synthetic material to cover exposed roots and give them protection from any further tissue loss.
