Can gum recession be corrected?

Doctor's Answers 1

Gum recession is gum recession. We can camouflage it with veneers but if it's too great it might be difficult. Prevention is key, not cure.

Will someone be more prone to gum recession after gummy smile treatment?

Thanks for the D2D. That is a very genuine concern! The purpose of gummy smile surgery is to trim away EXCESSIVE gum and bone tissue. So your dentist will only remove what is necessary and make your teeth the correct length. Since we are just “normalising” what you are supposed to have, it will not make you more prone to gum recession in the future compared to the normal population.
