What Is Gum Recession?
Gum recession refers to the loss of gum tissue along the gum line, which can occur naturally over time due to aging, periodontal disease, or abrasive brushing habits. Since gums protect the root structure of your teeth, their recession exposes the roots, increasing the risk of tooth decay and other oral health issues. Maintaining healthy gums is essential for overall oral health. If you’ve noticed signs of gum recession, it’s important to seek treatment to prevent further damage.
The Pinhole Surgical Technique
The Pinhole Surgical Technique offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum grafting. This procedure begins with a small pinhole at the site of gum recession. Special instruments are used to gently loosen and reposition the gum tissue without the need for sutures. Instead, collagen strips hold the gum tissue in place, promoting natural healing. One of the key benefits of this technique is that multiple teeth can be treated in a single session, reducing the need for multiple visits. With our highly trained doctors, the procedure is designed to be as seamless and painless as possible, offering a faster recovery period compared to traditional methods.
