Understanding Soft Tissue Treatments


Soft tissue treatments in our practice include crown lengthening, connective tissue grafts, and pinhole gum rejuvenation. These procedures help manage gum health, address aesthetic concerns, and contribute to the longevity of your teeth. Our approach is informed by the latest research and technology, ensuring effective outcomes for our patients.
Crown Lengthening:

More Than Meets the Eye

Crown lengthening is a procedure we perform to correct a “gummy” smile or prepare a tooth for a restoration. By carefully reshaping the gum and bone around a tooth, we can expose more of the tooth’s surface. This procedure is not just about improving how your smile looks; it’s about creating a healthy foundation for future treatments. Our tailored approach ensures that each patient receives care that respects their unique anatomy and cosmetic goals.

Connective Tissue Grafts: Reinforcing Gum Health

Gum recession can expose the roots of your teeth, leading to sensitivity and an increased risk of decay. Connective tissue grafts involve transplanting gum tissue to the affected area, protecting the roots and improving the aesthetics of your smile. We focus on minimally invasive techniques, ensuring a comfortable experience and a quick recovery.
Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation: A Modern Approach to Gum Recession
For patients experiencing gum recession, pinhole gum rejuvenation offers a less invasive alternative to traditional grafting. This technique allows us to restore your gum line without incisions or sutures, minimizing discomfort and downtime. Our practice is proud to offer this innovative treatment, reflecting our commitment to adopting techniques that benefit our patients.
