Soft Tissue Grafting

Quality Oral Surgery for the Goodyear Community

Healthy gum tissue is essential for protecting teeth, supporting dental implants, and maintaining an attractive smile. When gums are thin, damaged, or receding, soft tissue grafting can reinforce vulnerable areas and restore balance to the mouth.

Gum recession may occur for many reasons, including periodontal disease, tooth position, trauma, or natural anatomy. As tissue pulls away, roots or implant surfaces can become exposed, increasing sensitivity and the risk of further complications. Soft tissue grafting helps rebuild this protective barrier.

At Agave Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, Dr. Eric Saiz uses precise techniques to enhance both function and appearance. Grafting material may be taken from your own tissue or selected from safe, biocompatible sources. The graft is carefully secured in the area of need, where it integrates with existing tissue and strengthens the site.

Patients often choose soft tissue grafting not only to improve health, but also to create a more even, aesthetic gumline. The procedure can reduce sensitivity, prevent additional recession, and support the long-term success of implants or restorations.

Recovery is typically straightforward. Mild swelling or tenderness is normal, and our team provides detailed instructions to ensure proper healing. Most individuals return to normal routines quickly.

If you have noticed receding gums, exposed roots, or thin tissue around implants, a consultation with Dr. Saiz can help determine whether grafting is right for you.
