Recession is usually treated by periodontist by doing a free gingival graft.
Short answer: yes.  Grafting. But of course, every case is different.
Some forms of gum surgery can provide restoration of some gum recession. Success largely depends on the patient health care, diet, and general state of health, and the amount of recession that needs to be restored and the extent of the recession. DENTIST
Yes absolutely! A periodontist would be the best doctor for this.
