At Edgewood Dental Care, we also do a procedure for recession of someone’s gum and slightly … We see it longer in the tooth so to speak, called Pinhole Surgical Technique, which is a technique of bringing that gum back to where it once was, again, without a scalpel and without a stitch. It’s a little hole that goes above the gum, and you utilize your own tissue to bring the gum back down in combination with collagen to help the gum regrow back on the roots. That’s been something that’s worked very well for people.
Keep Your Gum Treatment Simple
To have a healthy mouth, you need healthy gums. Receding gums put you at greater risk of other issues, including tooth infections. Gum recession can be the result of one or more factors, including gum disease, your genes, hormone changes, poor oral hygiene, and brushing your teeth too hard. We offer a simple but effective treatment with the Chao Pinhole® technique. Here are a few things you should know about this revolutionary method:
- Your treatment is less invasive but just as effective. Using just a small opening, we can loosen the tissue and gently reposition it. This restores your gumline to its original location, where it covers and protects the roots of your teeth.
- You’ll be able to see the difference that same day.
- Your recovery will be easier because the opening is so small.
- You can stay comfortable during your treatment with your choice of dental sedation. You won’t feel anything while the pinhole procedure is underway. We also have several amenities that will put you at ease, including options you can select from our comfort menu.
Because the pinhole technique can be performed only by someone who has trained with the method’s creator, just a few dentists in Kentucky offer it. Fortunately for our patients, Dr. Kevin McMahon can provide this cutting-edge treatment right here.
