Can you fix gum recession with surgery? Sometimes. It depends on the cause and extent of the recession. Severe recession also involves bone loss, which will need to be addressed through grafting of bone and gums. And if the source of he recession is not addressed, it will return. Dr. Conrad
Yes ! There are few surgical procedures that can fix gum recession. Success rates vary depending on technique type, underlying bone structure and volume and also health of the gingival (gum) tissue. Success of any surgical procedure is highly dependant on proper oral hygiene of the patient.
