What Treatment is Available for Receded Gums?

Q.
I have receded gums and have gaps in my teeth where the gum has receded. Can you suggest any treatment for this please? I also have grey fillings, can these be replaced with white ones and how much would the cost be? And can I get this done at my own dentist or will I need to see a cosmetic dentist? I am really in need of something done as it’s so depressing because I am worried I might lose all my teeth because of this problem. I am 55 years old. Many thanks, I hope you can help.

Hi, thank you for your question. The initial treatment would be to stop them receding any further, then see what cosmetic options are open to you including bonding with white fillings or veneers. Ask your dentist about the options or find a cosmetic dentist if he can’t find a solution for you.
