Asked By:wystepek in Dublin, IE

I'm a 46 year old female who had periodontal disease which was treated successfully last December 2017. All pockets have been reduced to 2's and 3's.My gums are healthy .I had severe bone loss and had a bone graft which is working. Good growth/ improvement 3 months after graft. Is it possible to reverse all the bone loss damage Am I a candidate for composite bonding on top 6 teeth. My teeth are long due to gum recession and bone loss would a gum graft be an option too?
