No. However there is a technique called "Pinhole Surgery" that can repair gum recession, but only after stopping the main cause of the recession. Be sure you research and find a dentist that is certified in the Pinhole Surgery technique after getting the recession and any evidence of periodontal disease under control. Pinhole surgery is a very specific and complicated procedure, so allowing a dentist not properly trained in this post graduate course could result in serious complications.
Gum recession can be fixed with grafting, or flap procedures.
