there are some periodontal surgery that fixes it but prior to that the original cause of gum recession has to be discovered evaluate and resolved prior to the surgery. so be patient is a process.
Gum recession around crowns & bridges is not easily possible to fix. Sometimes depending on the health of the gums and underlying bone, a gum graft may be possible but its long term prognosis is questionable. In most instances, it is best to replace the bridge to cover the exposed tooth structure from receded gums
It is usually a bone issue . You can redo bridge? Possible see if bone grafting is an option, or you can do tissue grafting . Like pinhole therapy etc.
In order to diagnose and find the reason of the recession an comprehensive exam and evaluation of different radiographs will be necessary. Please schedule an appointment with your dentist of choice. We do accept new patients.
