Gum Recession Treatment in Vienna
For Vienna residents seeking gum recession treatment, our board-certified periodontists provide exceptional results at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in Reston. Gum recession treatment addresses the progressive loss of gum tissue that exposes tooth roots, increases sensitivity, and creates an aged appearance to your smile.
Left untreated, gum recession can lead to root decay, bone loss, and eventual tooth loss. Treatment restores the protective gum tissue barrier and improves both oral health and smile aesthetics. From Vienna, our Reston office is approximately 15 minutes away, making it easy to receive gum recession treatment treatment without a long commute.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gum Recession FAQ for Vienna Patients
What causes gum recession?
Common causes include aggressive tooth brushing, periodontal disease, genetics (thin gum tissue biotype), teeth grinding (bruxism), misaligned teeth, tobacco use, and lip or tongue piercings. Often multiple factors contribute simultaneously, and identifying the cause is essential for preventing recurrence after treatment.
At what point does gum recession need treatment?
Treatment is recommended when recession causes tooth sensitivity, exposes the root surface to decay risk, affects your smile aesthetics, or is progressing. A periodontist measures recession in millimeters — generally, recession greater than 2-3mm that is worsening warrants intervention.
Can gum recession heal on its own?
No. Unlike skin, gum tissue does not regenerate or grow back once it has receded. Without treatment, recession typically worsens over time. The only way to restore lost gum coverage is through surgical procedures like gum grafting or the Pinhole Surgical Technique.
Does gum recession mean I will lose my teeth?
Not necessarily. While severe recession can compromise tooth stability, early intervention can halt progression and restore tissue coverage. The key is addressing the underlying cause and protecting exposed root surfaces from decay and further tissue loss through proper care and periodontal treatment.
