Experience the Convenience of Minimally Invasive Gum Grafting

Understanding Minimally Invasive Soft Tissue Grafting

When a tooth is exposed, the risk of cavities and dental diseases increases. Additionally, it heightens the likelihood of abrasion, sensitivity, and decay. If the root becomes exposed due to gingival recession, a patient may require soft tissue grafting.

Recovery Process After Minimally Invasive Soft Tissue Grafting

Following the minimally invasive soft tissue grafting procedure, you can return home immediately. Our dentists advise adhering to a soft food diet for the initial two weeks post-surgery. This precaution ensures the protection of the gum grafts from potential harm.

Recommended Dietary Options During This Period Include

  • Jell-O
  • Scrambled or soft-boiled eggs
  • Mashed potatoes
  • Applesauce
  • Yogurt
  • Soft cooked vegetables
With proper care and considering your overall health and lifestyle habits, you can expect to be fully healed within a month after your procedure.
