Treating Gum Recession

Don’t Let Receding Gums Dull Your Smile
Beautiful teeth need a beautiful frame. If you’ve noticed sensitivity or are self-conscious about “long” teeth caused by gum recession, you’re not alone. At The Behrens Dental Practice, our expert dental team in London is here to help you restore both the health and beauty of your gums.
Understanding Gum Recession
Gum recession is more than a cosmetic concern—it can be a sign of periodontal disease or other underlying issues. Left untreated, receding gums may lead to:
- Increased sensitivity in your teeth
- Higher risk of gum disease
- A compromised oral health and natural smile
- Unattractive smile and look
Early intervention with the right treatment can make all the difference. Our goal is to treat gum recession effectively, ensuring your gums remain strong and your smile stays vibrant.
Our Gum Graft Solutions
At the Behrens Dental Practice, we offer advanced gum graft surgery that covers a range of needs—from treating receding gums on a single tooth to addressing widespread recession across multiple teeth. We tailor each dental treatment to your unique situation after a thorough assessment by Dr Behrens.
We offer Tunnelling Technique (even less invasive than pinhole surgery) and Coronally Advanced Flap procedures.
Treatment Options Include:
- Gum Graft Surgery Using Palatal Tissue:
- Ideal for patients with thinner gum tissue
- Uses your own tissue to naturally restore the gum line
- Gum Graft Surgery with MUCOGRAFT:
- A modern, man-made collagen alternative from Geistlich
- Eliminates the need for a second wound on your palate, meaning less pain and faster healing
- Perfect for treating multiple teeth, such as all lower front teeth, using the innovative Tunnelling Technique which leaves no scars
- Comprehensive Periodontal Therapy:
- Addresses not only the recession treatment but also any underlying periodontal disease
- Ensures the long-term health of your oral tissues
Every procedure is carried out with precision—often under a microscope—to ensure the best possible outcomes for your gum recession treatment.
