Has anyone here ever had Gum Graft Surgery?

Dude240502 · 2010-06-06 14:46:18

I have serious gum recession and while I know it is irreversible, can gum recession be cosmetically improved to at least cover up the exposed tooth and it is only in mild cases where this would be successful or if they have receeded too far is it too late to even improve the situation cosmetically? Did anyone here have it…

Did anyone here have it done and how badly receeded were your gums initially?

There are a number of procedures that can help, grafts and repositioning treatments. Ask your general dentist to refer you to a periodontist who specializes in these delicate surgeries. If that fails you can put pink fillings on the roots but I would recommend this as it tends to look even worse.
