Gum Recession Treatment
Expert gum recession treatment by your trusted Edmonton periodontist.
Gum recession is a dental condition where the gum tissue surrounding the teeth pulls back or wears away, exposing more of the tooth’s root. This can lead to tooth sensitivity, a higher risk of cavities, and cosmetic concerns. Treatment depends on the severity of the recession, but gum grafting is often recommended to restore lost tissue. Practicing good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups are essential to prevent further gum loss and support long-term oral health.
Treatment options depend on the severity of the recession. In mild cases, a thorough cleaning and changes in oral hygiene may help. For more advanced cases, gum grafting is often recommended to restore lost gum tissue, protect the roots, and improve the overall appearance of your smile.
At The Perio Centre in Edmonton, our experienced periodontist provides personalized treatment plans to restore gum health and prevent further damage. If you’re experiencing tooth sensitivity, noticing changes in your gumline, or have concerns about your smile, don’t wait.

Answers to Common Questions About Periodontal Disease Treatment in Edmonton
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during deep cleaning (scaling and root planing). At our Edmonton periodontist clinic, we often use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Recovery after flap surgery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. Our Edmonton periodontist will provide post-operative care instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort.
If you have symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath, or loose teeth, you may need periodontal disease treatment. Our periodontist in Edmonton will conduct a thorough exam to determine whether non-surgical deep cleaning or surgical flap treatment is necessary.
While gums don’t “grow back” in the traditional sense, deep cleaning and flap surgery can reduce inflammation and allow the gums to reattach more securely to the teeth. An experienced Edmonton periodontist can guide your treatment for the best possible outcomes.
Costs vary depending on the severity of the condition and the procedures required. We’re happy to provide estimates during your consultation at our Edmonton periodontal clinic, and we offer flexible payment options.
