Gum recession can cause more than cosmetic concerns. When the gum tissue that protects your teeth begins to pull away, it exposes sensitive roots, increases the risk of decay, and can make your smile appear uneven.
At Sculpt Center for Implants & Periodontics in McLean, Dr. Fadi Hasan offers advanced, minimally invasive treatment for gum recession designed to restore both health and aesthetics. As a board-certified periodontist and Virginia’s only micro-perioplastic surgeon, Dr. Hasan uses refined microsurgical techniques to rebuild gum tissue and create natural, lasting results.
Why Gum Recession Happens
Gum recession can occur gradually and may not be noticeable at first. Some of the most common causes include:
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Aggressive tooth brushing or hard-bristle brushes
- Genetic predisposition to thin or delicate gum tissue
- Orthodontic movement or dental misalignment
- Clenching or grinding (bruxism)
- Tobacco use or poor oral hygiene
No matter the cause, Dr. Hasan’s focus is on restoring your tissue health while protecting your teeth from further damage.

Why Treat Gum Recession Early

Gum Recession Treatment Before & Afters
Protecting and Restoring Gum Health Around Implants
If you already have or are considering dental implants, healthy gum tissue is essential to long-term success. Dr. Hasan provides gum grafting for implants to strengthen and reshape soft tissue, helping prevent infection and maintain a natural appearance.
If you’re noticing swelling, tenderness, or bleeding near an existing implant, you may be experiencing an infection known as peri-implantitis. Early treatment can stop infection, restore tissue health, and protect your investment in your smile.
