Before and After
Gum Recession Treatment in the Southern Highlands
Gum recession is a common yet often overlooked dental concern that can affect both the health and appearance of your smile. At Southern Highlands Dental Implants and Cosmetic Centre, we offer specialised care to treat gum recession and restore your gums to a healthier, more natural position.
What Is Gum Recession?
Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth begins to pull away, exposing more of the tooth or even the root. This can lead to increased tooth sensitivity, higher risk of decay, and aesthetic concerns. Left untreated, gum recession may result in damage to the supporting bone and eventually tooth loss.
Gum recession can be caused by a number of factors, including:
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Aggressive tooth brushing
- Poor oral hygiene
- Genetics
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Teeth grinding or clenching
- Misaligned bite or crooked teeth
Recognising the early signs and seeking prompt treatment is essential to protecting your oral health.
Signs You May Have Gum Recession
- Teeth appear longer than normal
- Exposed tooth roots
- Increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Loose teeth in advanced cases
How Gum Recession Is Treated
At Southern Highlands Dental Implants and Cosmetic Centre, Dr Ahmed uses advanced techniques to treat gum recession based on its severity and underlying cause. Your personalised treatment plan may include:
- Scaling and root planing to remove plaque and bacteria below the gum line
- Gum grafting, where healthy tissue is taken from another area and placed over the exposed root
- Pinhole surgical technique – a minimally invasive option for suitable cases
- Desensitising treatments for exposed roots
- Ongoing maintenance and advice to prevent further gum recession
Dr Ahmed combines clinical expertise with a gentle approach, ensuring you receive the highest level of care throughout your treatment journey.
