Restore lost bone and gum tissue with advanced regenerative techniques for stronger support, improved aesthetics, and long-lasting dental health.
Have you been told you don’t have enough bone for a dental implant? Or do you notice your gums are receding, making your teeth look long and causing sensitivity? These aren’t just cosmetic concerns—they’re signs that the foundation of your smile is weakening.
Just as a house needs a solid foundation, your teeth and dental restorations rely on healthy bone and gums. Hard and soft tissue augmentation are regenerative procedures that rebuild what has been lost, reversing the effects of time, disease, or trauma. This isn’t just about preparing for a future procedure; it’s about investing in the long-term health, stability, and beauty of your smile.
To understand augmentation, it helps to know why we lose bone and gum tissue in the first place.
Think of your jawbone as the bedrock for your teeth. Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds volume and density to your jaw in areas where bone loss has occurred.
Common Types of Bone Grafts:
The Process: The grafting material, which can be from your own body, a donor, a synthetic source, or an animal source, is placed in the area of bone loss. This acts as a scaffold, encouraging your own body to grow new, healthy bone around it over several months.
Your gums are the protective frame for your teeth and bone. When they recede, it’s not just an aesthetic issue; it can lead to tooth sensitivity and root exposure, which is vulnerable to decay.
Common Types of Gum Grafts:
The Process: These procedures are performed with local anesthesia. The goal is to cover exposed roots, thicken the gum tissue to make it more resilient, and create a more even, aesthetically pleasing gum line.
For a truly successful and natural-looking result—especially with dental implants—both bone and gum tissue are crucial.
A restoration on a weak foundation is destined to fail. Augmentation ensures your new smile is built to last
Walking into a new dental practice can be nerve-wracking. We designed your first visit to be the exact opposite.
Healing from an augmentation procedure requires patience, as the body needs time to regenerate.

Hard tissue augmentation focuses on rebuilding bone structure, while soft tissue augmentation restores or reshapes gum tissue. Both enhance stability, function, and aesthetics before dental implants or other treatments.
Bone augmentation is required when the jawbone is too thin or weak to support implants. It helps create a strong foundation for long-term implant success.
Soft tissue (gum) augmentation improves gum thickness, treats recession, and enhances the appearance of the smile. It also protects teeth and implants from future damage.
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, making it comfortable and nearly pain-free. Mild soreness after the procedure is normal and temporary.
Healing time varies, typically between 4 - 12 weeks, depending on the procedure performed and the patient's natural healing response.
Yes. Once healed, the regenerated bone and gum tissue provide long-lasting structural and aesthetic benefits.
Absolutely. Hard and soft tissue augmentation is a well-established, widely used, and clinically safe procedure performed with strict sterilization and precision techniques.
Yes. Augmentation procedures are often done specifically to prepare the mouth for implants by creating adequate bone volume and healthy gum tissue.
Biocompatible grafting materials, including advanced bone grafts and soft tissue grafts, are used to ensure natural integration and successful outcomes.
Patients with gum recession, bone loss, thin jawbone, or those preparing for implants are ideal candidates. A clinical examination will confirm suitability.
I had severe recession, but after soft tissue augmentation, my smile looks completely restored. The results are beautiful and natural.
