Best option to repair or restore bad gum?
Q. My gums are very poor at the bottom of my mouth and have been pushed down by plaque etc ?? due to bad gum disease, I am in the process of rectifying this and also looking into implants for the teeth that it has effected. Is there anyway that the gums can then be repaired or restored so that theres not big gaps etc ??
A. Unfortunately horizontal bone loss can not be re-grown to allow you to have the black triangles filled in. A restorative solution will be your best option
