Q.

Hi, Im 34 and I have severe gum disease especially on my front bottom teeth the gum no longer fills in between the teeth and I have been told I have lost a bit of bone there as well. Apparently the gum disease is hereditary and I also used to smoke but I gave this up when the dentist told me if I smoked anymore then I would have no teeth left by the time I got to her age.

I am starting to get really conscious of this now, what are my options? I have heard of gum grafts could this help me?
Thanks

Q.

I would like to have the 2 veneers replaced on my front teeth. Both natural teeth have silver fillings which now give a grey impression. My veneers are about 15 years old though.

Also I have a missing tooth (top right) and beside that I have a temporary crown (and bridge). The problem is my gum has receded and I would like a skin graft to resolve this. So I also need an implant & crown .

This treatment will be a huge investment for me as the cost will be high. How can I be certain of finding the right dentist & being happy with the results?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Q.
Hi Dr Caplan, My gumline has been receding gradually for the past 5 years and I have been told by my dental hygienist that it is due to overbrushing (not due to gum disease). My gum recession is quite mild and does not pose any problems, but I do not like how it looks. Is there any natural remedy for my gums to grow back, e.g. any gels I can apply to my gums to stimulate regrowth? Thank you! Cheers, Amanda,
