Call (403) 527-9833 today to schedule your consultation and stop the damage before it advances.
Request an AppointmentWhat is Gum Recession Treatment?
Gum recession treatment focuses on stopping gum loss, protecting exposed tooth roots, and addressing the underlying cause before it leads to more serious complications. At Park Meadows Dental, the treatment approach is carefully planned based on the severity of the recession and each patient’s overall gum health.
The goal is to stabilise the gums, reduce ongoing damage, and restore a healthy foundation that supports long-term oral health and function.
Who Should Consider Gum Recession Treatment?
Gum recession presents differently in every patient. If you notice changes in your gums or increased sensitivity, having it assessed early gives you the best chance of a straightforward outcome.
Sensitivity That Is Getting Worse
Problem: Hot or cold foods and drinks cause sharp discomfort because the tooth roots are exposed, and the sensitivity tends to worsen as recession progresses.
Solution: Treatment protects the exposed roots and addresses the source of the problem rather than just managing the symptom.
Teeth That Look Longer Than Before
Problem: Receding gums expose more of the tooth surface, making teeth appear longer and affecting the overall appearance of your smile.
Solution: Gum treatment restores coverage over the affected teeth and improves both the health and appearance of your gum line.
Bleeding or Inflamed Gums
Problem: Persistent inflammation from gum disease leads to gradual tissue breakdown, and bleeding during brushing is often an early sign that the gum tissue is under stress.
Solution: Deep cleaning removes the bacterial infection driving the inflammation and helps stabilise the gums, preventing further tissue loss.
Visible Root Exposure
Problem: When gum tissue recedes far enough, the root of the tooth becomes visibly exposed, making it significantly more vulnerable to decay and sensitivity.
Solution: Treatment covers and protects the exposed root surface, reducing the risk of decay and further complications while stabilising the gum line.
Ongoing Gum Loss
Problem: Gum recession does not resolve on its own and continues to progress without intervention, putting increasing pressure on the underlying bone and tooth stability.
Solution: Early treatment halts progression, stabilises the gums, and protects the structural foundation of your teeth before the damage becomes irreversible.
How Gum Recession Treatment Works at Park Meadows Dental
Treatment focuses on stopping the cause of gum loss and protecting your teeth using a step-by-step approach tailored to your condition.
Step 1: Evaluation and Diagnosis
Your gums are examined using specialised digital sensors and panoramic X-ray imaging to measure recession, identify the cause, and determine the right course of treatment.
Step 2: Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing)
Bacteria and tartar deposits are removed from below the gumline to eliminate the infection driving gum disease and stabilise the tissue.
Step 3: Periodontal Care
Where infection has progressed, additional periodontal treatment supports healing and helps the gum tissue recover properly following deep cleaning.
Step 4: Gum Grafting (If Required)
When root exposure is significant, gum grafting restores coverage over the affected area, protecting the root from further decay and sensitivity.
Step 5: Healing and Maintenance
Most patients notice reduced sensitivity within a few weeks. Regular follow-up appointments keep your gums stable and reduce the risk of recession returning.
