GUM RECESSION TREATMENT

RESTORING GUM HEALTH AND AESTHETICS IN LEAMINGTON SPA

Untreated and undiagnosed gum disease or periodontal disease is still the main reason why adults lose teeth. We think that's a terrible shame as most gum disease is entirely preventable and of course treatable.

Dr Viren Vithlani is a Specialist Periodontist and has studied extensively in this field. He is well placed to lead our team of dentists and dental hygienists in the battle against gum disease!

Gum recession treatment can:
  • Restore gum aesthetics by covering exposed tooth roots

  • Reduce sensitivity often experienced with exposed roots

  • Prevent root decay by protecting vulnerable root surfaces

  • Support long-term tooth retention by strengthening the foundation

FAQs about

Gum recession treatment

Will the treated gums look natural?

Yes, Dr Vithlani uses techniques that provide highly aesthetic results, matching the colour and texture of your natural gum tissue. Most people won't be able to tell you've had gum surgery once healing is complete.

How long is the recovery period?

Most patients can return to normal activities within 24-48 hours, though complete healing takes several weeks. We'll provide detailed instructions to ensure optimal recovery and results.

How long will the results of gum recession treatment last?

With proper maintenance and addressing the original causes of recession, results can be permanent. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular maintenance appointments are essential for long-term success.

Can all types of recession be treated?

Most cases of gum recession can be improved significantly with modern techniques. The degree of improvement depends on several factors, including the severity and location of recession, which Dr Vithlani will discuss during your consultation.

Will my insurance cover gum recession treatment?

Coverage varies by policy. Our team can help you understand your benefits and provide the necessary documentation for insurance claims. We also offer payment plans to make treatment more accessible.

How can I prevent further gum recession?

Using proper brushing technique (gentle but thorough), addressing any grinding or clenching habits, maintaining good gum health through regular professional cleanings, and treating any orthodontic issues can all help prevent additional recession.

Is gum recession treatment painful?

The procedures are performed under local anaesthetic, so you won't feel pain during treatment. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during recovery, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
