Soft Tissue Ridge Augmentation

Sites in which teeth have been extracted may present with a defect, or concavity, in the gum.  This defect may be unsightly, and may affect the cosmetics of the replacement tooth when a fixed bridge is utilized.  These defects can be corrected to allow for a more esthetic and hygienic outcome by using a soft tissue graft designed to surgically reconstruct the deficient ridge.
