Connective Tissue Graft
A connective tissue graft or subepithelial connective tissue graft is used to cover recession, treat sensitivity, prevent further recession, and decrease risk of cavities. The procedure involves taking a small piece of tissue from the roof of the mouth and placing it at the recipient site. During healing, it will feel like a burn with a small divot where the tissue used to be.

Implants were placed by a previous surgeon and restored by a general dentist. Unfortunately, the implants were poorly placed and resulted in a poor esthetic outcome and an unhappy patient. Using a team approach and collaborating with Dr. Johnson, we were able to rescue this patient and achieve a much improved esthetic outcome.

The implant at site #19 (placed by another surgeon) has facial recession and implant threads exposed. Connective tissue graft was utilized to increase tissue thickness and partially cover the exposed threads.
