Where precision meets healing.
Restoring Gum Health.
Gingival or soft tissue procedures focus on repairing and reshaping the gums to treat disease, correct recession, or improve aesthetics. These treatments are often needed when the gum tissue becomes damaged from infection, trauma, or poor oral hygiene. Healthy gums are essential—they protect your teeth, anchor them in place, and define your smile’s shape.
Depending on your condition, soft tissue procedures can include gum grafting (to cover exposed roots), gingivectomy (to remove diseased tissue), or contouring (to reshape uneven gumlines). These treatments not only restore function but also create a more symmetrical, attractive smile while preventing future dental complications.

Health, comfort, and aesthetics in harmony.
Why It’s Important?
Healthy gums are the cornerstone of a healthy smile. Soft tissue treatments stop gum disease from advancing, protect exposed tooth roots, and prevent tooth loss. By restoring lost tissue and removing infection, they strengthen the foundation that supports your teeth for the long run.
Beyond health, there’s also an aesthetic benefit—reshaping or grafting can enhance your smile line, correct a “gummy” appearance, and improve confidence. With today’s gentle laser and microsurgical techniques, healing is faster and more comfortable than ever before.

Your Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions.
Still curious about this treatment? Here are some of the most common questions our patients ask — and our honest, straightforward answers.
When do I need soft tissue or gum surgery?
You may need these procedures if you have gum recession exposing your roots, uneven gum lines, or persistent gum disease that doesn’t respond to cleaning. Your dentist will evaluate your gum health to determine the right procedure.
Is gum surgery painful?
Most soft tissue procedures are performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the treatment. Mild soreness or swelling afterward is common but easily managed with medication and proper care.
How long does recovery take?
Healing time varies depending on the procedure—typically one to two weeks for minor contouring and up to a few weeks for grafting. Following post-care instructions helps speed recovery and reduce discomfort.
Will the results look natural?
Yes. Modern gum grafts and contouring techniques are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural gum tissue, improving both health and aesthetics without noticeable differences.
How can I prevent gum issues in the future?
Regular dental cleanings, gentle brushing, flossing, and avoiding tobacco products go a long way in maintaining gum health. Your dentist may also recommend special rinses or a follow-up schedule to prevent recurrence.
