Recession closure

We restore the gum microsurgically - covering the exposed root naturally and without scarring.

Recession closure is a microsurgical operation that restores the level of gums that have receded from the tooth neck. An exposed root means sensitivity, an aesthetic defect and a risk of root caries. We use tunnel and envelope techniques with a graft of your own connective tissue from the palate through a minimal access. We work under the microscope with 6-0 and 7-0 microsutures - precisely, with minimal scarring and a natural result.

When to come

  • Exposed tooth necks or roots.
  • Sensitivity to cold on exposed areas.
  • Teeth appear visually elongated.
  • Progressive gum recession.
  • A thin gum biotype before orthodontics or prosthetics.

What's included

Recession diagnostics

We assess the Miller recession class, gum biotype and thickness, and bone condition - this determines the technique and prognosis.

Anaesthesia

Local anaesthesia fully numbs both the operating and donor sites.

Graft harvesting

We take your own connective tissue from the palate through a minimal access - reducing post-op discomfort.

Tunnel / envelope technique

Under the microscope we precisely position the tissue over the exposed root.

6-0 / 7-0 microsutures

The finest suture material ensures minimal scarring and a natural gum margin.

Gentle care and follow-up

We prescribe gentle care and regular check-ups to assess the stability of the result.

How the visit goes

Why it matters

  • We remove the sensitivity of the exposed root.
  • We protect against root caries.
  • A natural aesthetic of the gum margin.
  • Microsutures and minimal access - minimal scarring and discomfort.

FAQ

Why do gums recede?
Due to a thin biotype, traumatic brushing, frenum pull, overload or inflammation. We identify the cause at diagnostics.
Will the gum grow back on its own?
No. Recession does not reverse itself and only progresses — the tissue must be restored surgically.
Does the palate area hurt?
Thanks to the minimal access, donor-site discomfort is slight and short-lived.
How long does the result last?
With proper care, stable for years. Full tissue healing takes 3–6 months.
Can several teeth be treated at once?
Yes, the tunnel technique can close recession on several adjacent teeth in one operation.

Recession won't heal on its own and only progresses. The sooner the root is covered, the more stable and natural the result.
