Soft tissue grafting is a procedure used to either increase the thickness of an edentulous ridge or in most cases, to cover exposed roots. The soft tissue is usually taken from a donor site (palate) and then transferred to the recipient site (root surface). The main objectives are prevention of further root exposure, decrease root sensitivity and to improve gingival aesthetics. Dr. Fisher commonly uses the techniques of the Connective Tissue Graft and the Free Gingival Graft.
