At Hampton Dental Surgery, we provide advanced and personalised treatment for gum recession to protect your teeth, improve comfort, and restore your smile. If your gums are receding or your teeth appear longer than before, early treatment can help prevent further damage and maintain your oral health. Gum recession can worsen gradually over time, often without causing obvious pain, which is why regular check-ups are essential for catching it early.
Our caring team uses modern techniques to stop recession in its tracks, relieve sensitivity, and help you feel confident in your smile again.
Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding your teeth gradually pulls back or wears away, exposing the roots of your teeth.
This can make your teeth more sensitive and vulnerable to decay, while also affecting the appearance of your smile.
Gum recession can result from a combination of factors, including:
Gum disease
Aggressive brushing or incorrect technique
Plaque and tartar build-up
Smoking or tobacco use
Misaligned teeth or bite issues
At Hampton Dental Surgery, we offer a range of treatments depending on the severity of your condition:
Removes plaque and bacteria from below the gum line to treat early-stage gum disease.
Special agents or fluoride may be applied to reduce sensitivity caused by exposed roots.
A tooth-coloured material can be used to cover exposed roots and improve appearance.
Correcting misaligned teeth can reduce stress on gums and prevent further recession.
Gum tissue does not grow back naturally once it has receded. However, treatment can stop the progression and restore protection to your teeth.
In more advanced cases, procedures like gum grafting can rebuild the gum line and improve both function and appearance.
We ensure a comfortable and personalised experience:
We examine your gums, identify the cause, and assess the severity of recession.
A customised treatment plan is created based on your needs.
Appropriate procedures are carried out using gentle and modern techniques.
