Gingival recontouring is often needed to ensure proper gingival adaptation. By eliminating a deep pocket around a tooth, the harmful bacteria no longer have an adequate environment for survival, and periodontal bone loss can no longer progress.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, a regenerative approach may be used to reduce pockets during surgery. In that case, a bone graft and a collagen membrane can be placed under the gum, around the tooth, to create a favorable environment for bone regeneration and healing, again, leading to pocket elimination and periodontal heath.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-row-container\" id=\"cgtm\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 padding30t vce-row-equal-height vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-03bcd133\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-03bcd133\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-53p vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-c222b606\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-c222b606\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-c222b606\"><div class=\"vce-text-block red d-bold font30 nomargintop \"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-6bfcf5d6\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-6bfcf5d6\"><h2>Soft tissue grafting<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-47p vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last\" id=\"el-d6f1ed3c\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-d6f1ed3c\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-d6f1ed3c\"><div class=\"vcv-row-control-wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-text-block nomargintop\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-9146c0ea\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-9146c0ea\"><p>Soft tissue grafting can be performed to correct a gingival recession or even to thicken gingiva in an edentulous site, or around a tooth or dental implant.<\/p>\n<p>During a soft tissue grafting procedure, local anesthesia is performed, and a small layer of gingiva is removed from the roof of your mouth, and placed on the gum where it is needed, with sutures.

Rather than having a removeable denture that has poor stability and limited bite force this technique uses typically 4 implants to support a full arch fixed prosthesis. The prosthesis or false teeth is screwed into the implants and is the most realistic alternative to natural teeth with over a 95% success rate at 10 years. With the All-on-4 technique the patient is able to have their teeth removed, the implants placed, and a temporary prosthesis placed the same day. A final prosthesis is typically fabricated 4-6 months later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For patients with advance resorption of their maxilla (upper jaw), traditional dental implants cannot always be placed as there is insufficient bone to stabilize them. In these instances, longer implants called zygomatic implants are used to engage the thick zygoma bone (cheek bone).

As a result, they often will develop problems such a gum disease, caries, bone loss or resorption on the adjacent second molar, dental crowding, and\/or cysts or tumors around them. Long term studies demonstrate that over 80% of patients will eventually need to have their wisdom teeth removed in their lifetime. As a result, we recommend a consultation with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon between the ages of 15-25, prior to the development of disease or pain to assess if the wisdom teeth require removal. Removal at this age is much simpler resulting in a quicker recovery and lower risk of issues during the healing process.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-row-container\" id=\"atk\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-equal-height vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-46fe33ee\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-46fe33ee\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-64p vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-84dc448f\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-84dc448f\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-84dc448f\"><div class=\"vce-text-block red d-bold font30 \"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-29f089db\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-29f089db\"><h2>Tumor or cyst ablation and treatment of infection<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-36p vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last\" id=\"el-0b0e7a99\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-0b0e7a99\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-0b0e7a99\"><div class=\"vcv-row-control-wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-text-block nomargintop\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-6e346216\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-6e346216\"><p>Tumors, cysts or other types of infection may be present in your mouth or jaw causing you swelling, discomfort, or unpleasing esthetics.
