Gum health is a strong indicator of a person’s overall health. When people’s gums are showing signs of recession and they have open spaces between their teeth, also known as pockets, then they have gum recession, an advanced form of gum disease. Gum disease is caused by harmful bacteria remaining in people’s mouths for too long. Fortunately, a great way to treat receding gums is with the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) in Monroe, CT.
The Pinhole Surgical Technique is a remarkable treatment method used to improve gum tissue health. Continue reading to learn more about why this advanced procedure method should be used.
What Is The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique In Monroe, CT?
Receding gums is one of the many symptoms associated with gum recession. When gums recede, the roots of people’s teeth are exposed, causing them to have dental sensitivity when they eat or drink. The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique is a minimally invasive and unique treatment for receding gums, compared to traditional treatment methods such as gum grafting.
Gum grafting is the surgical removal of the gum tissue from one location to another. It can be very messy and uncomfortable because it requires quite a bit of cutting and manipulation of the gum tissue. This causes trauma to the soft tissues of the gums and mouth. Since there is an extensive mount of cutting, bleeding will happen and there is a need for sutures and healing time.
The healing times vary, which can act as another barrier to patients receiving smile restoration procedures, such as dental implants. The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, however, is far less invasive, and uses a laser to make a tiny pinhole in the patient’s gums to reposition them to cover the exposed tooth.
- Shorter procedure time
- Less bleeding
- Faster recovery time
What To Expect When Getting Treated With The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique
When people go to a skilled periodontist to get treated with the pinhole surgical technique, their initial consultation will be done to discuss their new smile wants, needs, and expectations. This ensures that the patients procedure results are as customized as possible. Patients can even get treated with sedation dentistry for an anxiety-free procedure as well.
