Do your teeth seem longer? Do you experience sharp sensitivity to cold or brushing? You are likely suffering from gum recession, commonly referred to as dental loosening.
In Paris, the management of this condition has significantly evolved. Heavy and painful surgeries have given way to periodontal plastic microsurgery. Based on the latest scientific recommendations, it helps to understand the causes of the phenomenon and restore gum health and aesthetics with confidence.
To treat gum recession, global scientific societies (like the SFPI — French Society of Periodontology and Implantology) today validate very precise and minimally invasive protocols like the tunnel graft. Instead of opening the gum with large incisions using a standard scalpel, periodontists employ optical aids (microscopes, binocular loupes) to slide an ultra-thin tissue graft beneath the existing gum.
The advantages:
The success of a rehabilitation relies on the beauty of the teeth and the health of the gum tissues. It’s the concept of pink aesthetics (gum) and white aesthetics (tooth) when designing a smile. To achieve this, the Madeleine Dental Practice offers the patient:
Untreated loosening weakens the root: the tooth becomes mobile and then is lost. At the first signs of sensitivity, you must quickly consult a periodontist to treat the gum and stabilize the tooth.
The price of a graft depends on the technique used (flap, buried graft) and the number of teeth to be covered. A complete quote will be provided during your consultation at the clinic. High-end insurance companies often offer excellent reimbursement packages for periodontology.
To ensure the aesthetics and longevity of dental veneers, the gum must be healthy and symmetrical. The treatment starts with a micro-gum graft, and then the design of the new smile is based on the principle of white aesthetics.
Gum recession is not inevitable. Make an appointment with the periodontal practitioners at the Cabinet Dentaire de la Madeleine (Paris 8) for a comprehensive tissue assessment.
