How can you repair receding gums and restore a harmonious smile?

Gingival recession affects a significant proportion of French people every year. Although uncomfortable, this condition is benign, especially if caught early. Studio Paro, a specialist dental practice in Lyon, explains how to repair receding gums.

What are the common causes of receding gums?

Most gum problems are caused by one or more of these factors:

poor positioning of teeth ;
naturally fragile or thin gum tissue;
brushing too hard or using too hard a brush;
excessive plaque.

Studio Paro dentists frequently see patients complaining of receding gums. It’s a common problem that can be treated very well once it’s taken care of.

Typical symptoms of recession include a feeling of teeth lengthening, tooth sensitivity to cold and heat, and sometimes bleeding gums or secondary gingivitis.

How to treat recession and restore healthy gums?

Studio Paro’s approach is designed to reassure each patient and enable them to regain comfort and well-being. When faced with receding gums, we offer solutions tailored to your needs.

Our restorative techniques aim to strengthen, readjust or thicken weakened gingiva. The principle of the procedure is simple: add rapidly regenerating tissue from the palate to replace the missing gingiva.

This technique both thickens the gums and slightly lifts them if necessary, while restoring their natural appearance.

Gingival recession treatment provides lasting protection for the tooth, reduces tooth sensitivity and prevents future inflammation. You’ll be able to chew comfortably and smile freely again!

How does Studio Paro treat gingival retraction?

Dr Touati and his team, experts in periodontology and cosmetic dentistry, employ a proven technique to deal with this disease. There are three stages in the process.

A dentist will welcome you and carry out a full oral and dental check-up. He will then suggest an appointment to restore your receding gums.
The procedure itself takes place in the office, under local anaesthetic, making it completely painless. Your dental surgeon removes a tiny piece of tissue from your mouth and uses it to repair damaged gums. Although meticulous, the operation is relatively quick.
After the session, a light, personalized treatment helps limit any discomfort. You’ll benefit from personalized advice on your oral care routine. The post-operative period is very simple, as the tissue used is naturally accepted by the body, eliminating any risk of rejection.
During a follow-up consultation, the practitioner checks the healing and integrity of your gums.

This technique offers a durable, functional and aesthetic solution for preserving your oral health at any age.

What are the benefits of gum restoration?

Four benefits are expected from the intervention:

strengthen gums for the long term;
protect the root of the tooth ;
for comfortable daily brushing;
improve smile aesthetics.
