Case Study

Connective Tissue Graft and Crowns — Gum Recession Treated Surgically

↔ Drag the handle to compare

1

Starting point

Gum recession across the front teeth and old, ill-fitting crowns — assessed in a comprehensive consultation covering aesthetics, jaw-joint function and focal screening.
2

After surgery and crowns

A connective tissue graft (CTG) rebuilt the receded gumline, supported by injectable PRF (platelet-rich fibrin made from the patient's own blood) to accelerate healing. Long-term metal-free laboratory temporaries then shaped the new gum contour for months before anything final was made.

The result from the side

The rebuilt gumline follows a natural contour from every angle. Before the final crowns, laser whitening set the shade the new ceramics would be matched to.

Close-up of the result

Metal-free IPS e.max crowns framed by a healthy gum contour — with a night splint protecting the result.
