Gum receded between two front teeth, could this be due to brushing or flossing? (Photo)

tmcgoo
I have veneers across my top row of teeth. I stopped flossing for a few months and my gums started bleeding. I'm starting to floss again but my gum between my front two teeth has receded slightly. Unfortunately this leaves a gap. Is there anyway for this gum to come back? A quick google mentions gum graphs. I think the receding may of happened after brushing/flossing too hard.
