Don’t Let Receding Gums Redefine Your Smile
Restore Your Gumline to Protect Your Smile
Gum recession can expose tooth roots, increase sensitivity, and put your long-term oral health at risk.

If gum disease is robbing you of your gumline, Dr. Ryan Mendro and Dr. Lucia Roca Mendro are experts at restoring healthy smile foundations and saving natural teeth!
What Is Gum Recession?
Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding your teeth gradually pulls back or wears away, exposing more of the tooth, or even the root beneath. This condition often develops slowly over time and may not be immediately noticeable.
Common Causes of Gum Recession
- Periodontal disease
- Aggressive or improper brushing
- Genetic predisposition
- Bite misalignment
- Bruxism (teeth grinding/clenching)
Stop Recession Early to Preserve What Matters Most
Treating gum recession early helps prevent sensitivity, root decay, and eventual tooth loss, while preserving the natural appearance of your smile.
At Precision Periodontics & Dental Implants, we use advanced solutions such as a tissue regeneration procedure in Winter Garden, FL, to restore lost soft tissue. Treating gum and bone loss from gum disease serves as an alternative to tooth extraction, saving teeth that might otherwise be at risk!
Signs of Gum Recession
- Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold
- Teeth appearing longer than before
- Visible roots or notches near the gumline
- Redness, swelling, or bleeding gums
Treatment Options for Gum Recession
Using this innovative, minimally invasive approach, our periodontists gently reposition your existing gum tissue through a small hole without the need for incisions or sutures. This tissue regeneration procedure in Winter Garden, FL, results in faster healing, minimal discomfort, and a more natural-looking gumline.
Gum grafting rebuilds lost tissue by using your own tissue or donor material to cover exposed roots. This time-tested treatment strengthens gum support, reduces sensitivity, and helps protect your teeth from further damage.
During GTR at Precision Periodontics & Dental Implants, we use a specialized membrane to stimulate bone regeneration along with regrowing healthy gum tissue lost to periodontal disease. Rebuilding your smile foundation improves tooth stability, helps prevent further damage, and supports long-term oral health.
