Gingival Recession Gingival recession refers to a loss of gum tissue resulting in an exposure and sensitivity in the roots of the teeth. A soft tissue graft will cover the recession and reduce tooth sensitivity. The gingival graft can be taken from the patient himself (autograft) or from a donated medically-processed human skin tissue (Alloderm).

Ridge Augmentation Sometimes when you lose one or more teeth, you can get an indention in your gums and jawbone where the tooth used to be.It also causes the replacement tooth, to look too long compared to the adjacent teeth.
