Treatment of gingival recession

Gingival recession – causes and surgical treatment

Gingival recession is a non-inflammatory condition in which the gum decreases in volume and moves toward the tooth root, resulting in root exposure.

This problem is not just aesthetic. Root exposure causes:

Increased sensitivity to hot and cold
High risk of caries development on the root surface
Color change (Discoloration)
Gradual damage to the tooth structure
In some cases – reduction of stability

The exposure of roots during a smile causes discomfort and decreased self-confidence in many patients.

How is recession coverage performed?

Recession treatment is carried out surgically. The procedure may include:

Coronally advancing (pulling down) the raised gum
Grafting tissue from the palate
Combined techniques depending on the specific clinical situation

The surgery is particularly predictable in cases of Class I and II recessions, where the success rate is maximally high. The earlier the plastic surgery is performed, the better and more stable the operative result.

Microsurgical approach at "Dens"

Gingival recession plastic surgery has been successfully performed at “Dens” clinic for over 5 years. We use:

Microsurgical technique

Modern, minimally invasive methods

An approach that preserves the patient’s own tissues as much as possible

The goal is not only to cover the root but also to restore the natural contour, color, and tissue harmony, ensuring the result is functionally stable and aesthetically natural.

“Dens” clinic provides individually planned, predictable, and long-term results — for the perfection of your smile.
