A periodontist can graft gum tissue to cover the recession.
Most gum recession comes from brushing your teeth too hard or comes from periodontal disease.
Yes.
It is not very predictable in many cases. Some cases are straight forward. So it depends on the case. Type, cause, location and surrounding and supporting structures of recession. Some times laser treatments are very successful but take several treatments. Some treatments involve grafts and can be very predictable. First step is to see your dentist for an exam and ask about treatments. If you desire a referral to a periodontist (specializes in gum treatments) ask your dentist.
It is possible to get a gum graft to fix gum recession. You should see a periodontist for a consultation.
