- Once your gum line lowers your teeth will give a elongated tooth appearance ,you may look older ,as your roots are exposed.if you notice it initially in mild stage with good prognosis ,it is curable.soft tissue graft and root coverage procedure can be done.
- Bone graft can be done but it depends on the type of bone loss,bone grafting has a good prognosis in vertical type of bone loss ,but has a poor prognosis in horizontal type of bone loss this helps to replace the lost bone.
