I know receding gums can cause some real problems. After a gum lift is the tissue more vulnerable, or will it heal up to be just as strong as before?

Gum lift gum recontouring implications for the future
A gum lift or recontouring can really help a persons smile. If it is done properly and the clinician understands and obeys well-esblished biological principals , then recession should not be a problem. THe procedure if done properly may reduce the chances of recession later. By adding extra thickness of tissue under the gum lift future recession can be prevented.

Gum lift prone to recession.
A gum lift also known as dental crown lengthening is a procedure that removed some gum and bone to reveal more tooth structure. If the attached gum tissue zone is wide and healthy there is no increased risk of gum recession after the procedure. That being said it is important for your dental surgeon to evaluate this zone of attached gingiva and gum health.
