Before and After
Gum Grafting and Lifting in the Southern Highlands
Enhance Your Gum Health and Aesthetics for Successful Dental Implant Placement. At Southern Highlands Dental Implants and Cosmetic Centre, we focus on ensuring your gums are healthy, firm, and aesthetically shaped before proceeding with any dental implant treatment. Healthy gum tissue provides essential support for implants and plays a vital role in their long-term success.
Why is Gum Grafting and Lifting Important?
Dental implants require a stable and healthy soft tissue environment to ensure they function correctly and look natural. If there is gum recession, uneven contours, or insufficient gum volume, the implant may be compromised - both in function and appearance.
Thanks to modern dental techniques, patients who may have previously been unsuitable for implants due to gum concerns can now benefit from treatment through advanced gum grafting and gum lifting procedures.
Dr Elkhatib has extensive training in soft tissue management and uses the latest techniques to deliver outstanding aesthetic and functional results, even in complex cases.
What Are Gum Grafting and Gum Lifting?
Gum Grafting
This procedure involves transplanting healthy tissue—often from the roof of the mouth (palate)—to areas where gum recession has occurred. Gum grafting restores lost tissue around teeth or implants, enhances gum volume, and protects exposed roots, contributing to improved oral health and implant success.
Gum Lifting (Gum Contouring)
Gum lifting reshapes the gum line to create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. It is commonly used to correct a “gummy” smile or uneven gum levels. Gum lifting can be performed before or during implant placement to optimise aesthetics and frame the final restoration beautifully.
When is Gum Grafting or Lifting Needed?
Gum grafting or lifting may be recommended in cases such as:
- Gum recession due to periodontal (gum) disease
- Thin or insufficient gum tissue around implant sites
- Uneven gum levels affecting smile aesthetics
- Protection of exposed tooth or implant surfaces
- Pre-implant soft tissue enhancement for optimal results
- Well-contoured, healthy gums not only protect the implant site but also ensure a natural-looking smile.
Will I Need Gum Grafting or Lifting?
Not all patients require gum-related procedures before implant placement. If your gums are healthy and structurally sound, implant treatment may proceed without additional soft tissue work. Dr Elkhatib will carry out a thorough assessment, including advanced imaging, to determine whether gum grafting or lifting is necessary for your specific case.
