Soft Tissue Augmentation

Periodontal disease, trauma, aging, excessive brushing, naturally thin gum tissue, and poor tooth positioning are the main causes of gingival recession. Gingival recessions can cause problems in your teeth to affect the bone. This affects soft tissue, causing tissue loss. 

 

In order to prevent these losses, Soft Tissue Augmentation treatment usually involves transplanting a piece of soft tissue taken from the palate or from a different area of the mouth to the area where the loss occurred. 

 

The goal of treatment is to thicken the existing gum tissue to close the exposed root or stop further tissue loss. In this way, you can eat painlessly and comfortably by getting rid of the pain caused by exposed tooth roots and get a proper smile. Soft tissue grafting prevents sensitivity in the gum by covering the exposed root. Protection against gaps that may occur in the future is provided. Thanks to the symmetry of your gum line, your smile gets an aesthetic appearance. The implant placement process is ensured to be healthier.

   

Importance of Soft Tissue in Implant Applications:

 

The quality and density of soft tissue are some of the strongest indicators of your oral health. In later periods, it allows the gums to gain resistance to recession. It makes brushing teeth smooth. It makes your gums more resistant to recession over time and is more comfortable to brush. It is also an important factor in the success of implant applications. 

In the process of knitting the dental implant with the jawbone, soft tissues must be tightly positioned around the implant. In this way, inflammation, pain, bleeding, plaque accumulation, and bone loss that may occur around the implant can be prevented. If it is not intervened in time, these problems can create a condition called peri-implantation (inflammation around the implant), which will fail the dental implant. Healthy soft tissues are extremely important to ensure that dental implants are healthy, stable, and long-lasting. 

Thick gum tissue plays a very important role in the aesthetic appearance of your implants. A thick dental tissue prevents the metal part of the implant from appearing in the implant area, allowing it to create a natural appearance.

It is useful to use a soft toothbrush to maintain the health of your gum line and gums, avoid toothpaste that has corrosive effects on the gums, and use the right brushing techniques. 

 Treatment:

Deep cleaning will be done by your dentist both above and below the gum line. A small incision creates a pocket in the receiving area. A separate thick incision is made in this pocket, and the donor tissue is placed between the two parts of this area. The wound area is stitched and surgical material is placed to protect it. 

After Treatment

Significant improvement will occur within the first six weeks after the procedure.
