Soft tissue grafting (also known as gum grafting) is a very common and well-research procedure to restore and repair your gums. It is typically done when there is receding gum issue or part of the roof from the tooth is exposed.
During the procedure, the periodontist will use various biomaterials to place under the receding gum area to support and restore. The grafting will act as a strong foundation to support the area and promote regeneration over the time and return the gum to its original position.
Over the next three to six months, the biomaterials will replace by your own gum tissue and the overall gumline will be improve. Having a soft tissue grafting procedure will not only increase the aesthetically of the gumline and have a perfect smile, but it can also decrease the pain or discomfort by covering the exposed tooth roof and protect your teeth from further damage. It can also reduce the tooth sensitivity and promote the overall gum health by preventing the bone loss.
Peter Milanovic2024-07-28Dr. Liu is an expert periodontist. My gums were in terrible condition and I was told by numerous other professionals that they were unrecoverable. After treatment with Dr. Liu for 1 year my gums are in great condition. Looking at photos of my gums from 1 year ago to now, I am in shock. I highly recommend Dr. Liu for anyone with gingivitis or gum disease. This can't obviously be cured but you can stay on top of it so it doesn't get any worse. Big thank you to the Gum & Dental Implant Centre!!

Malcolm Bedford2024-05-31I have been seeing Dr Leo for at least 18 months. I had a very bad gum infection, lost three teeth and needed a grafted bone implant before I could go ahead with porcelain teeth implants to replace the three teeth I lost. My experience with Dr Leo was that I felt safe and confident in his care. He is very professional as well as caring. Dr Leo’s facility is spotlessly clean and he is thorough. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and trust his judgement and advice completely. Lynette Bedford
Lorraine2024-04-30I was referred to Dr Leo Liu for my implant. No need to be nervous because Dr Leo is a real gentleman. He is kind and caring and incredibly professional in his work. He carefully explains each step of the procedures. Infection control is spot on. The implant went well without the slightest pain. Dr Leo’s offsider, and receptionist Kelvin, is also very very caring and knowledgeable in every step of the treatment. Dr Leo’s chairside assistants helped me to feel relaxed. Th Wollongong community is blessed in having Dr Leo and his team practice here. I would not go anywhere else for gum and implant treatments.100% recommend without hesitation.

Janev2023-09-03I was referred to Dr Leo after 3 dental professionals had somehow missed out on diagnosing my gum problems. He was excellent. Calm, professional, experienced and very good at his job. He immediately found out the problem and worked out a treatment plan and home care strategies. Together they worked and my gum problems have greatly improved. I am very impressed and very grateful. Dr Leo knows his stuff and on the basis of my very positive experience, I highly recommend him. He has very good staff and a happy clinic which is a pleasure to visit
