Gum recession is a key treatment performed by periodontists.

You’ll benefit from seeing a periodontist, not only for the functional improvements, but how they’re especially talented in artistically restoring a natural gumline and gorgeous smile, too. Our periodontist has years of experience in a variety of treatment techniques for gum recession in Columbia, MD. With precision and attention to detail, we can help you find your ideal smile once again!
If you’re experiencing gum recession, you may believe that you’ll never see your beautiful, balanced smile again. Rest assured that gum recession reversal is not only possible, but that you already have the solution to your own problem. Our team can remove a small amount of healthy soft tissue either from the roof of your mouth, from in front of any teeth that already have disproportionate gum coverage, or from another donor source, and attach it to the area where your gums have receded. Gum grafting, as this treatment is called, restores the protective function, the health, and the aesthetics of your gum tissue.
With artistic precision, our periodontist can recreate your full, original gumline, adding gum grafts where the tissue is deficient to even out its appearance. This is all done with an eye toward restoring the natural curved shape of the tissue around your teeth. Following this procedure, we can explain what habits and other factors might be contributing to your gum recession, so you can avoid it in the future.
