About This Treatment
Restoring gum coverage where it has been lost
Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue pulls away from the tooth, exposing the root surface. Left untreated, it can cause sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and eventual tooth loss. Recession therapy uses proven grafting techniques to restore coverage and halt further progression.
At MINS Dentistry, every recession therapy plan is personalised — whether you need treatment for one tooth or multiple sites — ensuring the most effective and lasting outcome for your gum health.
Recession therapy may be recommended when
- One or more teeth show visible root exposure.
- Tooth sensitivity from recession is affecting daily life.
- Gum recession is progressing despite good oral hygiene.
- Recession is affecting the appearance of your smile.
Types of Recession
Recession patterns we treat at MINS Dentistry
The treatment approach depends on the number of teeth affected, the severity of recession, and the condition of surrounding gum and bone tissue.
Multiple tooth recession
When several teeth are affected, a comprehensive grafting plan is designed to address each area efficiently in a staged or combined approach.
Generalised recession
Widespread recession across the arch requires a thorough assessment and a phased treatment plan to restore gum coverage systematically.
Recession with bone loss
Where recession is accompanied by bone deficiency, guided tissue regeneration or combined grafting may be recommended.
Treatment Process
How recession therapy is planned and performed
Each case is assessed individually to ensure the right technique is chosen and the best possible root coverage is achieved.
01
Clinical assessment
We measure the extent of recession, evaluate tissue thickness and quality, and confirm the most appropriate grafting technique.
02
Treatment planning
A personalised plan is created based on how many teeth are affected, tissue availability, and your aesthetic and functional goals.
03
Grafting procedure
Connective tissue or other suitable graft material is used to cover the exposed root surfaces with precision and care.
04
Healing and review
The treated sites are monitored during healing. Most patients see complete or near-complete root coverage with good long-term stability.
