Gum Recession

At Dentists of Chimney Heights, we understand the importance of maintaining optimal oral health for our patients in Surrey, BC. One common issue that many individuals face is gum recession, which can lead to various dental problems if left untreated. Our clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive gum recession services, ensuring the well-being of our patients' gums and overall oral health.

Understanding Gum Recession

Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth pulls back, exposing more of the tooth or its root. This can result in gaps or pockets forming between the teeth and gums, making it easier for bacteria to accumulate and potentially cause serious dental issues. Common causes of gum recession include aggressive brushing, periodontal diseases, genetics, hormonal changes, and certain lifestyle habits.

Our Approach to address Gum Recession

At Dentists of Chimney Heights, we take a personalized and patient-centric approach to address gum recession. Our experienced and highly skilled team of dentists is committed to providing the best possible care tailored to each individual's needs. Here's an overview of the services we offer:

Thorough Examination:

Our team begins by conducting a comprehensive examination to assess the extent of gum recession and identify the underlying causes. This includes a detailed review of the patient's medical history and oral hygiene habits.

Scaling and Root Planing:

For early stages of gum recession, our dental professionals may recommend scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar buildup, promoting gum reattachment to the tooth surface.

Soft Tissue Grafting:

In more advanced cases, we offer soft tissue grafting procedures to cover exposed tooth roots and restore a healthy gumline. This involves taking a small amount of tissue from another area of the mouth or using donor tissue to augment the receded gum.

Lifestyle and Oral Hygiene Education:

We prioritize patient education on proper oral hygiene practices and lifestyle adjustments to prevent further gum recession. Our dentists provide personalized guidance to promote long-term gum health.

Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance:

Regular check-ups are essential to monitor the progress of gum recession treatment. We work closely with our patients to ensure that they maintain optimal oral health and prevent the recurrence of gum-related issues.
