Obtain Healthy Gums with Comprehensive Recession Treatment
Restore and Protect
Your Gums
Millions of Americans suffer from gum recession, a severe dental problem. At Foundation Implants in Lone Tree, Colorado, we know how important it is to take quick, decisive action on this issue. Gum recession is the condition in which more of the tooth or its root is exposed due to wear and tear on the gum tissue bordering the teeth. This disorder not only affects the appearance of your smile but, if ignored, may cause major oral health issues.
What is Gum Recession?
Gum recession, often known as gingival gum recession, is the process by which gum tissue around teeth wears away exposing more of the tooth or root. Increased sensitivity and susceptibility to deterioration follow from this exposure. Gum recession is not only cosmetic; it is an indication of underlying bone recession that may jeopardize the integrity of the tooth.
Common causes include:
- Periodontal disease
- Aggressive tooth brushing
- Genetics
- Hormonal changes
- Loose teeth
- Tobacco use
- Teeth grinding or clenching
- Poor oral hygiene
- Misaligned teeth

Symptoms and Risks
Stopping further damage requires early identification of gingival gum recession. Look for symptoms like:
- Tooth sensitivity to temperature
- Visible tooth roots
- Teeth appearing longer
- Notch near the gum line
- Color change at the gum line

Untreated gum recession may have major effects such as:
- Increased tooth sensitivity

- Aesthetic concerns affecting self-confidence
- Chronic inflammation leads to other health issues
Treatment
Options

Non-Surgical Treatments
- Scaling and Root Planing: A thorough cleaning that removes plaque and tartar behind the gum line.
- Desensitizing Agents: Special toothpaste and treatments for reducing sensitivity.
Surgical Treatments
- Gum Grafting: The process of covering exposed root surfaces with gum tissue.
- Single Incision Surgical Technique: A less invasive gum repositioning procedure.
Orthodontic Treatment
- Correcting misaligned teeth can help prevent further recession.
