If your smile is affected by periodontal disease, you may have noticed that your gum line has receded, making your teeth look longer than usual. Gum recession may also be caused by overaggressive tooth brushing, insufficient dental care, genetic factors, tobacco product use, grinding and clenching your teeth, hormonal changes, or crooked teeth.

As the gums recede, “pockets” form between the teeth and gum line, where disease-causing bacteria can easily accumulate and damage your teeth and bone structure. In addition to damaging the health of your smile, this can also negatively affect your smile’s appearance and result in increased tooth sensitivity. To treat gingival recession, our dentists may recommend guided tissue regeneration. This treatment option harnesses your body’s ability to regenerate and regrow tissue and bone.
