Gum Recession Treatment
Specialized treatment to stop and reverse gum recession before it leads to tooth sensitivity or bone loss.
A clinical treatment that addresses the gradual pulling back of gum tissue from the teeth, stopping further recession and restoring coverage to exposed roots.
The underlying cause of recession is addressed first, then a gum grafting or pinhole technique is used to restore coverage over exposed roots and rebuild a healthy gumline.
Stops recession from progressing, reduces root sensitivity, and restores protective gum coverage before bone loss or tooth loss can occur.
