A.

Soft tissue grafting is a procedure that involves taking some gum from one area- usually at the back of he mouth-or palate area and sewing it in place in the area that it is needed. If you would like to discuss this further, I would be more than happy to see you for a free consultation at my kissdental practice in Manchester. Hope this helps.
