At SohoSmile®, combatting gum recession is not just about restoring your smile—it’s about prioritizing your overall oral health and well-being. Led by Dr. John Koutsoyiannis and our skilled team, including proficient Board Eligible Periodontist Dr. Brendon Ursomanno we employ a biologic approach to periodontics, merging innovation with patient-centered care to ensure superior results for every procedure.

Understanding Gum Recession & Treatment
Receding gums pose a significant risk to dental health, potentially leading to tooth loss if ignored. At SohoSmile®, our expert periodontists conduct thorough assessments to pinpoint underlying causes such as periodontal disease, clenching and/or grinding (bruxism), hard or aggressive brushing, improper flossing, trauma, misaligned teeth, tobacco use, hormonal changes, and inflammation. By identifying the root cause, we develop personalized treatment plans to effectively restore gum health and address your needs.

Who is the ideal candidate?
Whether you’re dealing with mild or severe gum recession, our team is here to support you. Ideal candidates for gum recession treatment are individuals committed to maintaining optimal oral health and seeking to improve their gum condition. Our treatment approach considers the severity of gum recession, along with your overall health and lifestyle, ensuring the most suitable solutions for you.

During gum recession treatment, expect a personalized approach tailored to your specific needs. Our team conducts a comprehensive evaluation to assess the extent of your gum recession and identify the most suitable treatment approach. For mild cases, lifestyle changes or non-surgical interventions may suffice, while more severe cases may require gum surgery like a gum graft to repair the receded gumline and protect exposed tooth roots. Throughout the process, our team provides guidance, support, and personalized care to ensure the best possible outcome, prioritizing your comfort and satisfaction.

Post-treatment care:
After gum recession treatment, diligent post-operative care is essential for successful healing and long-term gum health. Our periodontists provide detailed instructions, including dietary recommendations and tobacco cessation advice, to promote optimal recovery.

If you’re experiencing discomfort or noticing concerning symptoms related to your gums, it may be time to consult a periodontist at SohoSmile®. Our specialists address bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth, and other issues with expertise and care. With our biologic approach to periodontics, we integrate traditional dental techniques with alternative therapies, considering the interconnectedness of oral health and overall well-being.
