Answer: Multiple Steps for best physiologic and cosmetic results.
Yes, and it's important to have the x-rays of these teeth evaluated so that the CEJ (where the tooth enamel ends and the root begins) is not exposed during the surgery. This could lead to the possibility of needing veneers, which is best to know ahead of time prior to the surgery.
Hi there and thank you for your question. It would be ideal to wait until you have your procedure and your gum tissue has completely healed so that the entire surface of the tooth can benefit from the whitening. Good luck!
If this is just an injury from your toothbrush, it's not unlikely for your gum to grow back. The key is to go to your periodontist to make sure that it is not also reflective of any other condition as well as to review proper home care.
