Dr Monshizadeh has particular expertise in the area of soft tissue management and this skill is used to establish a sound periodontal and mucosa aorund implants and teeth. For implants and teeth to survive, they must be surrounded by thick healthy keratinized tissue. For areas deficient in either volume or keratinized tissue, the hard palate is the source for taking most of the grafts. The services that Dr Monshizadeh provide include:

• Management of recession areas around teeth and implants
• Pedicle flap soft tissue transplants
• Free connective tissue transplants
• Free epithelial transplants
• Vestibulum reconstruction

Below are a few examples of how these procedures are performed and the difference they make in the final tissue volume around teeth and implants.
