Gum Restoration

Also and above all, the receding gums make you appear significantly older. There are procedures with which the gums can be raised in small surgical units so that they completely cover the root. This procedure makes a significant difference and should be carried out when the necks of the teeth are only slightly exposed - because then the surgical effort is significantly lower.

gums lifting

1. What is gum lifting?

Gum lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that reshapes the gum line to cover exposed tooth roots and restore the natural contour of your gums. It improves both aesthetics and tooth protection.

2. When is gum lifting necessary?

Gum lifting is necessary when gums recede due to disease, injury, or other factors, leaving tooth roots exposed. It helps with sensitivity, enhances oral health, and restores a beautiful smile.

3. How does gum lifting work?

During gum lifting, tissue (either natural or synthetic) is used to cover exposed tooth roots. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is typically painless.

4. What causes gum recession?

Common causes of gum recession include improper brushing techniques, gum disease (like periodontitis), genetic predisposition, or the natural aging process.

5. Can gums be restored?

Yes, gums can be restored through specialized treatments like gum lifting or grafting. These procedures rebuild the gum line and provide long-term protection for your teeth.

6. How much does a gum correction cost?

The cost of a gum lifting procedure depends on the size of the area being treated and the method used. On average, it ranges from $500 to $1,500 per tooth.

7. How long does recovery from gum lifting take?

Recovery usually takes 1–2 weeks. During this time, you should maintain excellent oral hygiene and avoid hard or spicy foods.

8. Is gum lifting painful?

No, gum lifting is generally painless since the procedure is done under local anesthesia. Mild swelling or sensitivity may occur afterward but typically resolves quickly.

9. Can gum recession be prevented?

Yes, gum recession can be prevented by brushing gently, visiting the dentist regularly, and avoiding risk factors like smoking.

10. What are exposed tooth roots, and how are they treated?

Exposed tooth roots occur when gums recede, leaving the sensitive parts of the teeth uncovered. They can be treated through gum lifting or protective coatings to reduce sensitivity and prevent further damage.

11. Is gum lifting also aesthetically beneficial?

Yes, gum lifting not only improves oral health but also enhances the appearance of your smile by creating a more even and attractive gum line.

12. What are the risks of gum lifting?

Gum lifting is a safe procedure when performed by a specialist. Rarely, mild swelling, infection, or sensitivity may occur, but these issues are manageable.

13. How long does a gum lifting last?

The results of gum lifting are typically permanent, provided you maintain good oral hygiene and no further gum disease develops.

14. Can I get dental implants with gum recession?

Yes, dental implants are possible even with gum recession. However, gum tissue may need to be rebuilt through lifting or grafting beforehand.

15. What is the difference between gum lifting and gum grafting?

Gum lifting involves repositioning the existing gum tissue, while grafting uses tissue from another part of the mouth (like the palate) to strengthen or replace the gum.
