Receding Gums Treatment in Bangalore
Receding gums expose tooth roots, cause sensitivity, and increase the risk of decay and tooth loss. At Implant Square Bellandur, our periodontists assess the cause of recession and offer treatments from deep cleaning to gum grafting to protect your smile.
What Are Receding Gums?
Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue pulls away from the tooth, exposing the root surface. You may notice longer-looking teeth, notches near the gum line, increased sensitivity to hot and cold, or darker areas at the tooth base. Causes include aggressive brushing, periodontitis, genetics, tobacco use, and teeth grinding.
At Implant Square Multi-Speciality Dental Clinic in Bellandur, Bangalore, Dr. Agarwal and Team measure recession depth, assess bone support, and recommend the right combination of periodontal therapy, behaviour modification, and — when indicated — gum grafting to cover exposed roots and prevent further loss.
Benefits of Receding Gums Treatment
Protect Exposed Roots
Covering recessed areas reduces sensitivity and protects roots from decay.
Halt Further Recession
Treating the underlying cause — whether gum disease or brushing habits — stops progressive gum loss.
Improved Smile Aesthetics
Gum grafting and contouring restore a balanced, youthful gum line.
Comprehensive Assessment
We evaluate recession pattern, bite forces, and periodontal health for a complete treatment plan.
Durable Results
With proper maintenance, grafted and treated gums provide long-lasting protection.
Eat & Drink Comfortably
Reduced root sensitivity means you can enjoy hot, cold, and sweet foods again.
How Do We Treat Receding Gums?
Treatment ranges from non-surgical periodontal care for early recession to surgical gum grafting for moderate to severe cases.
The Receding Gums Treatment Process
- 1
Recession Mapping
We measure recession at each tooth, assess pocket depths, and identify contributing factors like brushing technique or grinding.
- 2
Treat Active Disease
If periodontitis is present, scaling and root planing stabilise gums before any grafting procedure.
- 3
Behaviour & Bite Modification
We recommend soft-bristle brushes, night guards for grinders, and orthodontic evaluation if malocclusion contributes.
- 4
Gum Grafting if Indicated
Connective tissue or free gingival grafts cover exposed roots and thicken thin gum tissue.
- 5
Maintenance Programme
Regular periodontal maintenance prevents recurrence and monitors graft success.
Who Should Seek Help for Receding Gums?
Any visible gum recession warrants evaluation — even mild cases can progress without intervention.
Ideal For:
- Patients who notice teeth appearing longer or roots showing
- Those with sensitivity along the gum line
- Individuals with a history of gum disease or aggressive brushing
- Patients planning implants or cosmetic dentistry who need adequate gum tissue
May Need Different Care First:
- Delaying care when recession is rapid or teeth feel loose
- Attempting DIY remedies for exposed roots without professional assessment
At Implant Square in Bellandur, Dr. Agarwal and Team specialise in both non-surgical and surgical solutions for gum recession tailored to your needs.

Receding Gums Treatment Timeline
How long does gum recession treatment take?
Non-surgical care may take a few weeks; gum grafting involves healing over four to eight weeks with full maturation over several months.
- Severity of Recession: One to two teeth with mild recession heal faster than full-arch grafting.
- Grafting Technique: Connective tissue grafts typically heal in six to eight weeks; pinhole techniques may have shorter recovery.
- Oral Hygiene & Habits: Gentle brushing and avoiding tobacco significantly improve graft survival and outcomes.
Your periodontist at Implant Square Bellandur will outline a step-by-step timeline at your consultation.
Receding Gums: What to Expect
Your first visit includes detailed measurements and a discussion of whether non-surgical care, grafting, or a combination is best. Grafting procedures are performed under local anaesthesia with sedation options available. Post-operative care instructions ensure comfortable healing.
Sensitivity often improves within weeks of treatment. Grafted areas mature over several months, with follow-up visits to monitor progress.

Receding Gums FAQs
Gum tissue does not regenerate on its own once lost. However, gum grafting can cover exposed roots, and treating gum disease halts further recession.
