Gum Recession Treatment in Sugar Land, TX
If your teeth look longer than they used to or your gums appear uneven, you may be experiencing gum recession. At Fort Bend Periodontics & Implantology, Dr. Dyer and Dr. Nguyen provide advanced gum recession treatments that restore your natural gumline, protect exposed roots, and improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Why Gum Recession Happens
Gum recession can develop gradually and often goes unnoticed until sensitivity or cosmetic changes appear. Common causes include:
Periodontal (gum) disease
Aggressive brushing or hard-bristled toothbrushes
Tobacco use
Clenching or grinding your teeth
Natural aging or thin gum tissue
Left untreated, gum recession can lead to tooth sensitivity, root decay, and even tooth loss. The good news is that modern periodontal care offers comfortable, effective solutions to restore gum health.
Our Approach to Treating Receding Gums
Soft Tissue Grafting
In many cases, Dr. Dyer or Dr. Nguyen may recommend a soft tissue graft. During this procedure, healthy tissue is gently placed over areas where gums have receded. The new tissue helps cover exposed roots, prevent further recession, and create a smoother, more even gumline.
Depending on your needs, the graft may come from your own tissue or from a donor source, both of which are safe and biocompatible.
Minimally Invasive Techniques
We use advanced methods to minimize discomfort and recovery time. Our team ensures you’re relaxed and comfortable throughout the process, and most patients return to normal routines within a few days.
Comprehensive Aftercare
Following treatment, you’ll receive personalized home-care guidance to keep your gums healthy long-term. Regular cleanings and gentle daily habits can help prevent future gum recession.
