Gum recession exposes your tooth roots and increases sensitivity. But it also ages your smile. In Sugar Land, Dr. Siny Thomas provides minimally invasive treatment to protect your teeth and rejuvenate your smile.
Receding Gums and What We Can Do
Receding gums can be caused by several factors and can occur gradually. Many people do not realize the condition is taking place. Our gums provide a barrier around the teeth to protect the root surfaces and underlying bone. When gums recede, it can cause tooth sensitivity and give bacteria a place to harbor. Dr. Siny Thomas offers a minimally invasive solution to restore the health of your gums.
