Receding Gums
Receding gums expose the roots of your teeth, causing sensitivity to hot and cold, an aged appearance to your smile, and increased risk of decay on the exposed roots. Recession can be caused by aggressive brushing, gum disease, genetics, or grinding — and it does not heal on its own.
How FaceLab Can Help
Our periodontics specialists offer soft-tissue grafting to cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and restore a natural gum line. We also identify and address the underlying cause — whether that is brushing technique, bite issues, or active gum disease — to prevent further recession.

Gums do not regenerate on their own, but soft-tissue grafting can restore the gum line and cover exposed roots predictably.
Gum grafting is performed under local anaesthesia and is generally well tolerated. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
Treating the underlying cause is key — gentler brushing, treating gum disease, addressing grinding, or correcting bite issues. We tailor a plan to your specific drivers.
