Subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) can be used as a membrane in guided bone regeneration (GBR) to gain more tissue volume. The case presents a 66-year-old female patient with a missing canine and is referred for dental implant placement. The implant was placed; GBR was done using xenograft particulate and a palatal SCTG as a membrane to improve the labial contour and achieve better esthetics. She returned for a routine follow-up after 14 months, and the examination revealed a well-maintained tissue contour following the final crown placement.
