Can Cosmetic Dentistry Fix Receding Gums?

For many, receding gums is a very real concern. Gum recession can be painful and even cause tooth loss in severe cases. Fortunately, in today’s advanced dental world, gum recession can be treated. Read on for more about repairing receding gums in Birmingham.

Receding gum treatment options

Healthy gums are light pink in color and tightly wrapped around each tooth. Good dental hygiene, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoiding tobacco products can help keep your gums in their best shape. However, when gums recede, the gum tissue that is surrounding the teeth essentially expose more tooth or even the tooth root. This can cause bacteria build up which can, in turn, cause disease to form.

Dr. Milan is pleased to be not only a well-known dentist specializing in preventative dentistry, but also restorative, advanced and cosmetic dentistry. He is an expert in many advanced dental procedures that simply aren’t offered at every dentist office, including those that treat the gums.

Dr. Milan offers several options to reshape and repair gums. First, gum contouring can help to change your gum shape and restore gums where too much of your teeth are exposed. Likewise, soft tissue grafting can also be used to restore the gums where they recede. This involves using a material that is biocompatible and is secured to your gumline for restored gum symmetry.

Additionally, Dr. Milan is an expert in the PST Gum Treatment, also known as the Pinhole Surgical Technique or the lunchtime gum lift. This procedure is an elite treatment that few specialize in and is performed through a small needle hole in the gum. Then, specifically designed tools loosen the gum tissue very gently as it is glided over the recessed area.

All gum treatments are provided using the most state-of-the-art equipment and under general or local anesthesia to keep you comfortable because your safety and comfort is our top priority.
