Gum Recession Treatment in Maspeth, Queens
Conservative options for receding gums and sensitivity
Gum recession is the gradual exposure of root surfaces as the gum tissue pulls back from the teeth — and it’s one of the most common (and most overlooked) sources of cosmetic concern, tooth sensitivity, and long-term tooth loss in adults.
At SOL Dental Arts in Maspeth, Queens, gum recession is evaluated and treated by Columbia University-trained dentists Dr. Arthur Volker, DDS and Dr. Aadel Soleymani, DDS, with a focus on identifying the underlying cause first and then choosing the right treatment for your specific case.
Why Gum Recession Matters
Receding gums can make teeth look longer, create sensitivity to cold or brushing, expose softer root surfaces, and increase the importance of careful home care and professional monitoring.
Common Causes of Gum Recession
Recession may be related to aggressive brushing, a naturally thin gum type, periodontal disease, tooth position, grinding or clenching, bite stress, or muscle attachments that pull on the gum margin.
Treatment Options
Conservative management. For mild or stable recession, treatment may include brushing changes, sensitivity toothpaste, fluoride support, periodontal maintenance, and a night guard if bite forces are contributing.
Composite root coverage. In selected cases, tooth-colored composite can mask exposed root surfaces and reduce sensitivity without surgery.
Periodontal referral. More advanced recession may need gum grafting or specialist care. We coordinate with trusted periodontists when surgical treatment is the healthiest option.

Information on Cosmetic Services offered
What Cosmetic Dentistry Can Improve?
Cosmetic dentistry may be used to address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including chipped teeth, worn edges, uneven tooth shape, discoloration, spacing, small lateral incisors, asymmetry, and smiles that no longer feel as polished or youthful as they once did. In many cases, improvement is achieved through conservative treatment planning that enhances the smile while respecting natural anatomy.
Our Approach to Smile Enhancement
At SOL Dental Arts, cosmetic treatment is planned with attention to proportion, translucency, contour, smile line, and facial harmony. We evaluate not only how the teeth look individually, but how they work together within the smile as a whole. This allows us to recommend treatment that feels elegant, refined, and appropriate for the individual patient rather than generic or overdone.
Treatment Options That May Be Included
Depending on the case, cosmetic dentistry may involve composite bonding, veneers, whitening, selective contouring, replacement of failing bonding, or a more comprehensive smile refinement plan. Some patients benefit from a small enhancement to one or two teeth, while others may be candidates for a broader treatment approach designed to improve the overall balance of the smile.
