When the gumline changes
Periodontics for Riverbend Residents
Teeth looking longer than they used to? Riverbend residents can ask about receding gums and tooth support at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time

Changes you can see
A shifting gumline deserves an explanation.
Recession shows up when the gum sits lower on the tooth, which can make teeth appear longer and expose root surfaces that react to temperature. Movement, new spacing or a bite that feels different can be another sign that support is changing.
Residents of Riverbend who notice any of this can request an assessment to find out why it is happening. We measure recession and attachment, review bone through appropriate images, and discuss what can be done to protect the support that remains.

Recession, measured
Changes in gum position are recorded tooth by tooth, so they can be tracked over time.
Stability checked
Mobility and bite are reviewed along with how much bone is supporting each tooth.
Supporting tissues
Treatment for recession and the surrounding tissues is part of periodontal care, where an assessment shows it is suitable.

A little clarity before your visit
Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about periodontics in Riverbend.
Ask our teamWhy do my teeth look longer?
The gumline may have moved down the tooth as tissue changes, exposing more of it. An examination can help determine whether periodontal disease is involved.
Can bone that has been lost grow back?
Routine treatment focuses on controlling disease and holding on to the support you have. Regenerative procedures are reserved for selected defects and are not predictable everywhere.
Why has a tooth started to feel loose?
Loss of support is one possible reason, and shifting or a change in bite can happen alongside it. Call the clinic to have it looked at.
Why are my teeth sensitive near the gums?
Exposed root surfaces can respond to hot or cold. Tell us where it happens so the area can be examined during your assessment.
Can treatment make recession look more obvious?
Sometimes. Once swelling resolves, gaps and root surfaces may show more clearly even though the tissue is healthier.
Which service should I request for receding gums?
You can simply ask for a periodontal assessment from Riverbend, online or at (204) 338-3003, and describe what you see. The clinic will reply about an appointment on McPhillips Street.
