Really good with proper diagnosis, treatment and personal care after getting it done!
It can be difficult with gun surgery to restore The gum height to a pre-recession level.
Yes, a gum graft can be very effective. I would only go to a Periodontist for this procedure though. I also generally recommend going to a non-group practice where doctors come and go frequently. Go to a Periodontist who has their own practice. Better follow-up and long-term care.
That is a very complicated question to answer completely. The success of the surgery depends upon the kind of surgery you have, the skill of the surgeon performing the surgery, and how well you follow the post-surgical instructions. There is a procedure called pinhole surgery that is very successful for treating areas of gum recession. There are also various grafting procedures that can be used to reverse gum recession. Above all you must follow the instructions of your surgeon very carefully or even the best surgical technique will not be successful.
