What Is Gum Recession Coverage?

Gum recession coverage is a periodontal procedure aimed at restoring receded gums that have moved away from the tooth surface, exposing the root. This treatment helps protect the tooth roots, reduce sensitivity, improve gum health, and enhance smile aesthetics.

At Scientific Dental Clinic, advanced periodontal techniques are used to achieve natural-looking and long-lasting results.

Causes of Gum Recession

Gum recession may occur due to:

• Gum disease (periodontitis)
• Aggressive or improper brushing
• Thin gum tissue (genetic factors)
• Teeth grinding or clenching
• Misaligned teeth 
• Tobacco use

Early treatment prevents further gum and bone loss.

Signs & Symptoms

You may notice:

  Teeth appearing longer

  Exposed tooth roots

  Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold

  Notches near the gumline

  Gum inflammation or discomfort

A detailed clinical evaluation is essential to plan the right treatment.

Treatment Options for Gum Recession Coverage Depending on severity, treatment may include:

Connective Tissue Graft

– Tissue taken from the palate and placed over exposed roots

Free Gingival Graft

– Improves gum thickness and coverage

Pedicle Graft

– Uses nearby gum tissue for coverage

Minimally Invasive / LASER-Assisted Techniques

– Reduced discomfort and faster healing

Your dentist will recommend the most suitable approach.
