Soft Tissue Treatment with a Soft Touch
Soft Tissue Treatment in McKinney
While your teeth generally take much of credit for your ability to eat and speak, your soft tissues perform vital functions that you may sometimes take for granted. Most notably, your gums are the protective barrier that keeps infection out and your teeth in. Sometimes having too little or too much soft tissue can make you feel self-conscious, can limit essential oral functions, and can even jeopardize your dental health.

Gum Recontouring
Too much gum tissue covering your teeth can make them appear small or short and give you a “gummy” smile look. With care and precision, we’ll reshape the gum tissue and remove excess bone around your teeth to restore better symmetry and improve your tooth-to-gum ratio to rebalance your smile and restore your confidence!
Frenectomy
That slender tissue connecting your top lip to your gums or your tongue to the bottom of your mouth is each called a frenulum. If these tissues are too restrictive, you may have difficulty speaking or eating. Receiving a frenectomy in McKinney can release this problematic tissue, freeing you to enjoy meals, conversations, and even smiling.
Gum Grafting
Gums receding or pulling away from the teeth leave sensitive roots exposed to harmful bacteria. Gum grafting restores gum tissue where it has receded, usually replacing it with tissue from your own mouth This tissue graft will fuse with your existing gums, alleviating your tooth sensitivity and giving you a consistent and healthy gumline.
