FAQs
What is gum recession?
Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth pulls back, exposing more of the tooth or its root. This can lead to sensitivity, increased risk of cavities, and aesthetic concerns.
How long does the Receding Gumline Technique take?
The procedure's duration can vary depending on the number of teeth involved and the extent of gum recession. Generally, it can be completed in one visit, with each session lasting about 1 to 2 hours.
What is the recovery time like?
Since the technique is minimally invasive, recovery time is typically shorter compared to traditional grafting. Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two, with full healing expected in a few weeks.
Are there any risks involved?
As with any dental procedure, there are potential risks, but these are minimized with the Receding Gumline Technique due to its minimally invasive nature. Discuss any concerns with your dentist to understand the procedure's safety and efficacy.
