Implant tissue correction
Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Reconstruction
Soft tissue correction around implants to improve tissue thickness, keratinized mucosa, aesthetics and hygiene access in compromised implant sites.
Implant tissue correction
Surgery is designed before the surgical appointment begins.
Designed for
Thin mucosa around implants
Implant recession or visible grey shadow
Insufficient keratinized tissue around implants
Soft tissue problems affecting hygiene or aesthetics
Planning records
Evaluation of implant position and prosthetic contour
Assessment of inflammation, peri-implant pocketing and bone levels
Soft tissue phenotype and keratinized tissue measurement
Coordination with restorative correction when needed
Clinical sequence
How this treatment is approached.
Diagnosis
Implant sites with thin tissue, recession, visible metal or difficult hygiene access may need soft tissue reconstruction to improve stability and comfort.
Surgical approach
Connective tissue grafting or keratinized tissue augmentation Flap design adapted to implant position and soft tissue needs Prosthetic contour modification if tissue health requires it Maintenance planning for long-term peri-implant health

Important limitations
Precision requires honesty.
Premium surgical planning improves clarity, but treatment suitability and outcome depend on diagnosis, anatomy, tissue quality, healing response and clinical execution.
Limitations to respect
If the implant is severely malpositioned, tissue grafting alone may not solve the problem
Inflammation and plaque control must be addressed before or alongside surgery
Final aesthetic correction depends on bone, implant position and prosthetic design
Patient pathway
Send close-up implant photos and any X-rays
Clarify whether there is bleeding, pain, recession or aesthetic concern
Plan soft tissue correction alone or as part of broader implant retreatment
