Have you noticed your teeth looking a bit longer lately, or feeling more sensitive?
Those could be early hints of gum recession—a condition that’s more common (and more treatable!) than you might think. At Root Dental in Algonquin, we blend leading-edge technology, a holistic philosophy, and plenty of listening to create care that gets to the root of the issue—all in a space that feels more “forest retreat” than dental clinic.
Most importantly, we see you, not just your teeth. If you’re ready for a dentist who takes the time to understand your health, lifestyle, and worries, you’ll feel right at home here.
Let’s talk about your smile. Book your first visit or call us at 224-333-2063.
Gum recession happens when your gums pull back from your teeth, slowly exposing more of the surface, and sometimes even the root. Exposed roots can lead to sensitivity, plaque buildup, and a higher risk for tooth loss.
Common causes include genetics, gum disease, aggressive brushing, teeth grinding, and the natural wear of time. The sooner we catch it, the more options we have for a simpler fix.
Digital imaging and the SillHa Oral Wellness System help us assess your gum health with precision and comfort.
As gum tissue recedes:
Healthy gums support whole-body wellness, including cardiovascular and metabolic health. Addressing recession early prevents future complications and supports long-term well-being.
Every mouth is different—your care plan should be too.
Everything we do is shaped around your lifestyle, comfort, and long-term goals.
When you visit Root Dental, you’ll never feel rushed or just like a number on a chart. Dr. Grothe understands dental anxiety firsthand—she’s been there herself—and takes extra time to make sure you feel at ease, fully informed, and truly heard. It’s just one more way we make your comfort and confidence a top priority at every step of your care.
