What will happen now that I have been diagnosed with receding gums?

Thursday, January 21st, 2010
Q.
I have just returned from a routine visit to my Dentist. I know I have receeding gums & xrays show bone erosion. I smoke. I visit the hygienist every 3 months & have just had the first session of gum packing. My Dentist tells me the teeth are very clean, & have good dental hygiene. What can I expect to happen now as I gather there is no cure. Many thanks,,

Can I have uncomfortable denture replaced?

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010
Q.
Hi there, I suffer from gum recession and it is likely that I will eventually lose my teeth; due to periodontic problems. I just had two teeth out and have had a partial denture fitted on a plate. Whilst the denture looks good, the plate in the roof of my mouth feels so awful. Bulky etc. It cost me £400. When my gums heal, then is it right that I will have to have another one made? again loads more money. I hate my smile, with the gum recession and am thinking about just having the front 6 teeth out and be done with it. Any ideas?,

Need to fix my bite and get gum graft, please suggest.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
I am nearly coming to the end of invisalign treatment and have found that my top front teeth have gone forward and caused me to have a bit of an overbite. Also my lower left canine gum has receded, which must be due to brushing too hard as I don’t have gum disease. Will invisalign refinements be able to push my front teeth back a bit? or is there any other treatment that can fix my bite? Where can I go to get a gum graft, as it is causing me a lot of anguish.

A.
