\"manDental implants are an excellent choice for tooth replacement. They offer a number of benefits that dentures or a crown and bridge do not. For instance, dental implants in Phoenix are stand-alone replacements that do not have any impact on adjacent teeth. Implants also help maintain jawbone health and shape. Despite these advantages, there can still be a problem with dental implants. When there is not sufficient bone width, then gum recession and dehiscence (opening) of tissue around the implant may occur. To correct this, a dentist may recommend connective tissue grafting for implant esthetics.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is Connective Tissue Grafting?<\/h2>\n

During connective tissue grafting, which is also called gum grafting or soft tissue grafting, a small section of tissue is removed from another part of your mouth, usually the palate or the roof of your mouth. The tissue is sutured into place when the gum tissue has thinned around a dental implant.<\/p>\n

Connective Tissue Grafting for Dental Implant Esthetics<\/h2>\n

Exposure of dental implants threads from under gum tissue can happen as a result of poor periodontal health and gum recession. Connective tissue grafting is designed to build up gum tissue and make the portion of tissue around an implant thicker. Thus, the implant threads are no longer visible and you have a more attractive smile.<\/p>\n

Oral Hygiene and Dental Implants<\/h2>\n

As just mentioned, poor periodontal health can cause implant exposure. To avoid this and other oral health concerns, stringent oral hygiene is essential.<\/p>\n

Be sure to brush your restored teeth just as you do your natural teeth. Use a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day. Flossing is important toobecause this is the only way to remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and implant-restored teeth.<\/p>\n

Failing to take proper care of dental implants may lead to a bacterial infection called peri-implantitis. This infection could weaken the connection between your implant and the surrounding bone tissue that holds it in place. If not resolved, peri-implantitis can lead to implant removal.<\/p>\n

Dental implants in Phoenix are an excellent choice for replacing missing teeth. However, they do require care and monitoring. If you are due for a dental checkup, then call a dentist in Phoenix today<\/a>\u00a0to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n
