Gum Recession Treatment
in Hermosa Beach CA
If you’re noticing your teeth look longer, your gums are pulling away, or you have sensitivity near the roots, you may be experiencing gum recession. At Precision Periodontal and Implant Center, we specialize in advanced gum recession treatment in Hermosa Beach to restore gum health, protect your teeth, and enhance your smile.
Gum recession is more than just a cosmetic issue—it can expose tooth roots to decay, increase sensitivity, and even lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Dr. Dmitriy Ivanov, a board-certified periodontist, offers tailored solutions designed to stop recession and rebuild lost tissue for lasting results.
Advanced Gum Recession Treatment Options
At Precision Periodontal and Implant Center, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every patient receives a customized treatment plan built on careful diagnostics and advanced techniques. Treatment options may include:
- Gum Grafting: The gold standard for treating significant recession. Healthy tissue from another area is grafted to cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and improve aesthetics. Dr. Ivanov uses meticulous techniques to ensure natural, seamless results.
- Pinhole Surgical Technique: A minimally invasive approach that gently loosens and repositions existing gum tissue over exposed roots without cutting or sutures. Patients often enjoy faster recovery and less discomfort.
- Individualized Palatal and Non-Palatal Grafting Solutions: Dr. Ivanov carefully evaluates each case to choose between patient tissue and modern substitutes, ensuring grafting meets personal clinical and aesthetic goals.
- Prioritized Pain Relief and Recovery: At Precision Periodontal and Implant Center, we focus on advanced pain management techniques to protect graft sites, reduce post-operative discomfort, and encourage a smooth, worry-free recovery.
Your treatment plan will be crafted to match your needs, gum health, and aesthetic goals—because you deserve a healthy, beautiful smile.

Why Gum Recession Happens
There isn’t one single cause of gum recession—it usually develops from a combination of factors. Common contributors include:
Periodontal Disease
Gum infection that destroys the supporting tissues and bone.
Aggressive Brushing
Brushing too hard or with a stiff-bristled toothbrush can wear away gum tissue.
Genetics
Some people naturally have thinner gum tissue, making them more vulnerable.
Orthodontics or Misalignment
Teeth that don’t fit together properly can place stress on gums.
Grinding or Clenching
Excess pressure on teeth may contribute to gum loss.
Tobacco Use
Smoking or chewing tobacco reduces blood flow and healing ability.
Whatever the cause, gum recession should never be ignored. Early treatment can protect your teeth from further complications.
Gum Disease Treatment in Hermosa Beach
Gum recession is often linked to gum disease (periodontitis), a chronic bacterial infection that destroys gum and bone tissue. At Precision Periodontal and Implant Center, we provide comprehensive gum disease treatment in Hermosa Beach to remove infection, heal your gums, and prevent further damage.
Our approach includes:
- Scaling and Root Planing: Deep cleaning below the gum line to remove plaque and tartar that fuel infection.
- Osseous (Pocket Reduction) Surgery: Reduces deep periodontal pockets and reshapes bone for easier cleaning and healthier attachment.
- Regenerative Surgery: Uses bone grafts and biologics to rebuild lost bone and support your teeth.
- Maintenance Care: Personalized maintenance plans with regular cleanings and monitoring to keep your gums healthy long-term.
Addressing gum disease is essential for stopping recession and protecting your natural teeth for life.
The Risks of Untreated Gum Recession
Exposed tooth roots are not just a cosmetic concern. Left untreated, gum recession can lead to:
Increased tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
Higher risk of cavities on the exposed roots
Progressive bone loss around the affected teeth
Loosening and eventual loss of teeth
An uneven smile that impacts appearance and confidence
Treatment is about more than aesthetics—it’s about protecting your long-term oral health.
