Frequently Asked Questions
Is soft tissue grafting needed for implants?
In certain cases, it may be required. Soft tissue grafting strengthens gums around implants for better stability and appearance. Your dentist will guide you if required.
Can gum recession worsen without treatment?
It can. Untreated recession may lead to tooth sensitivity, root damage, or tooth loss.
Is soft tissue grafting painful?
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia to make the patient comfortable. You might experience mild discomfort after the surgery, which can be managed with medication.
Will the gum tissue look different after the graft?
The grafted tissue might initially appear slightly different, but it will gradually blend in with your natural gum tissue over time.
How long does recovery take?
The typical healing process takes 1-2 weeks. However, complete tissue integration may take a few months.
How much does soft tissue grafting cost?
The cost of soft tissue grating varies depending on factors such as the extent of the procedure and your location. At Smile and Profile, detailed treatment plans and cost estimates are given after clinical consultation.
