Soft Tissue Procedures

Soft tissue treatments help restore and maintain gum and periodontal health through non-surgical options for patients affected by gingivitis or periodontitis. At Melbourne Family Dentist, we also provide soft tissue surgeries, including tooth extraction, apicoectomy, frenectomy, Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADS), dental hemisection, and root amputation. Multiple visits may be required for comprehensive care, including routine check-ups to monitor gum health.

During general dental check-ups, our team carefully examines for early signs of gum disease, focusing on preventative care to address issues before they worsen. Before any procedure, you can consult with our dentist to ensure a comfortable and personalised treatment plan.

Soft tissue management encompasses a variety of services aimed at maintaining optimal periodontal health. If your gums become infected, our experienced team provides effective treatments to restore your smile. Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is primarily caused by bacteria in plaque, which inflames and infects the gums. If untreated, the gums may recede from the teeth, potentially leading to serious dental complications.

To prevent the progression of gum disease, we recommend booking a periodontal consultation with our team. Our staff is committed to delivering gentle, professional, and high-quality care tailored to every patient.
