Gum graft surgery is the most predictable and long-lasting treatment option for gum recession. Typically, a periodontist (gum specialist) performs this procedure. During this surgery, a gum graft is used to replace your missing gum tissue.
Depending on how severe the recession is, will determine the best mode of treatment. There are a variety of treatments and having a in person consultation with a dental professional will help you better understand your options.
Yes, there are specific types of surgeries to repair gum recession. Usually, these surgeries are performed by periodontists.
Yes, gingival grafting can be performed by a periodontist. They will take gum tissue from your palate area and cover the area of recession. There are areas and reasons why grafting can not be done. I recommended a periodontal consult with a periodontist.
