Gum Recession Treatment in northern Virginia and Washington, DC
Restore and Protect Your Smile With Expert Gum Recession Treatment
Gum recession occurs when tissue surrounding a tooth pulls away, exposing more of the tooth or its root.
The condition may develop gradually and can go unnoticed until sensitivity, decay, or a visible change in the gumline appears.

How Gum Grafting Restores the Gumline
Dr. Habib evaluates the gums, supporting bone, and cause of recession before choosing a treatment.
Depending on your needs, grafting may use your own tissue or a biocompatible material to cover exposed roots and create a healthier, more natural-looking gumline.
- Reduces root sensitivity.
- Protects exposed roots from decay.
- Helps limit additional recession.
