Unveiling the Power of Soft Tissue Care

While teeth receive much of the spotlight for their role in eating and speaking, our unnoticed heroes are the soft tissues that play a critical role in oral health. Your gums, acting as a protective shield, keep infection at bay and hold your teeth securely in place.

However, imbalances in soft tissue, either too little or too much, can not only impact your confidence and smile but also restrict essential oral functions and even threaten your dental health.

With our effective soft tissue treatment approach, we can restore optimal oral health, allowing you to live a life free from functional limitations and filled with confidence.

Recognizing Soft Tissue Issues

Several evident signs may indicate potential soft tissue problems in your mouth:

Gum recession

This occurs when your gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, exposing more of the tooth root and increasing vulnerability to infection.

Tooth sensitivity

Increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and beverages can be a sign of exposed tooth roots or irritated soft tissues.

Gummy smile

Excessive gum tissue can cover more tooth surface than desired, affecting aesthetics and potentially impacting speech and eating.

Loose or shifting teeth

When soft tissues fail to adequately support the teeth, they may become loose or begin to shift out of position.

Difficulties with speaking, eating, or swallowing

Compromised soft tissues can hinder your ability to perform these essential functions.

Gap between front teeth

A wider than usual gap between your front two teeth (diastema) can sometimes be attributed to abnormal soft tissue development.

Exploring Soft Tissue Treatment Options

At Horasan Dental Clinic, we understand the significant role soft tissues play in your oral health and aesthetics. Here’s an overview of our treatment options tailored to address various soft tissue concerns:

Recontouring for a Balanced Smile
(Crown Lengthening)

Excessive gum tissue can make your teeth look “gummy” and shorten their appearance. Through meticulous gum reshaping and, if needed, careful bone removal, we can restore a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing tooth-to-gum ratio. This recontouring procedure enhances not only your smile’s symmetry but also your confidence.

Frenectomy for Enhanced Function
(Frenulum Release)

The frenulum is a small piece of tissue connecting your lip or tongue to your gums. When overly thick or restrictive, it can affect your ability to speak and eat properly (tongue-tie or lip-tie). Our frenectomy procedure, available for all, gently releases this tissue, allowing you to enjoy speaking, eating, and even smiling more freely. 

Gum Grafting for Lasting Protection
(Restoring Receding Gums)

Receding gums expose the sensitive root surfaces of your teeth to harmful bacteria and increase your risk for cavities. Gum grafting aims to replenish the lost gum tissue using tissue harvested from another area of your mouth. This grafted tissue integrates seamlessly with your existing gums, alleviating tooth sensitivity and recreating a healthy, consistent gum line.

Comprehensive Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease, an infection caused by toxins from bacterial plaque, can affect your oral health in various ways. We offer a range of treatment options, from non-surgical procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced surgical options like gingivectomy, depending on the severity of the condition. Additionally, we recommend regular periodontal maintenance after initial treatment to ensure long-term gum health.
