Hard & Soft Tissue Grafting
Bone & Gum Grafting in Lancaster, PA
Periodontitis and trauma can destroy the bone and “pink tissue” that hold your teeth in place. Grafting allows us to stop this recession and, in many cases, regrow what was lost.
Hard Tissue (Bone) Grafting
Using natural or synthetic bone, we can restore the height and width of your jawbone. This is often essential for patients who need dental implants but lack the bone volume to support them. Along with that procedure, we can also perform guided tissue regeneration to prevent the gum tissue from growing into the area where the bone should be.
Soft Tissue (Gum) Grafting
Receding gums expose the sensitive roots of your teeth, making them prone to decay and sensitivity. By using specialized grafting techniques, we can cover the exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and protect the tooth from further attachment loss.
