Can gums grow back?

[...] unfortunately, gums cannot regenerate. But no need to despair - the Dental Specialists are here to help you! That is because, depending on the stage of gum recession, it is reversible and restorable. In many cases, it can be successfully corrected with minimal dental treatment and the right cleaning techniques. However, if the gum recession is the result of, for example, periodontitis and your teeth are significantly affected, then special dental expertise is required. At Dental Specialists in Düsseldorf, we have dentists who specialise in just such cases so that you can be sure of a successful outcome. We provide you with individual advice on receding gums and are at your side throughout the entire treatment. Severe gum recession can be partially treated, for example, by thickening the gums and building up tissue. If there are already large gaps in the interdental spaces, our dentists can also provide you with optical corrections using fillings, crowns, and veneers.
