Gumlift
A minimally invasive, low-pain procedure for gum recession.
From sensitive teeth to unsightly, elongated exposed tooth necks — gum recession was long considered irreversible. Many techniques for so-called recession coverage remain, to this day, very elaborate, technique-sensitive, lengthy, carry an increased risk of complications, and therefore have low patient acceptance.
Gumlift
With the Gumlift technique, receded gum tissue can be brought back to its original position.
The secret to a perfect, healthy smile lies in a harmonious gumline. Our practitioners at smileDentity focus every treatment step on the optimal aesthetic result for your smile. What’s too little at one tooth and needs lifting can well be too much at another and is recontoured accordingly. In the end, it’s the harmonious overall result that counts.
Causes of Gum Recession
Gum recession can have various causes. The main ones are:
When gum recession occurs in a non-visible area, it is less the aesthetic concerns that justify this procedure, but rather the sensitive, exposed and therefore unprotected root surface, or gum tissue that is too thin and irritated in that spot. The Gumlift technique is equally suitable for creating better soft-tissue conditions around implants, to counteract implant loss after several years. Accordingly, this procedure can also be used to thicken the gum tissue.
