How To Effectively Treat Receding Gums

Gum Veneers

Gum veneers are an option to help improve the look of a patient's gums and keep their teeth healthy. They may be used if gum grafting isn't an option. Gum veneers serve a similar purpose to dentures, but they function for the gums rather than the teeth. Some are created from acrylic materials and designed so an individual can remove them from their mouth before sleeping and to clean them. Other veneers made of ceramic are designed for permanent fixture in the mouth. It's less common for fixed veneers to be recommended, because they're harder to clean than acrylic and don't always get the same appearance benefits. Getting fitted for veneers is a similar process to getting a tooth replaced or a crown put in. The dentist will provide specific instructions on how to treat the veneer.
