Pinhole
Surgical Technique
Do you have painful or noticeable gum recession ? Do you have bone loss because of receding gums ? Dr . Steven Crandall and Dr . Karen Johnson of South Hills Dental Arts would like to announce that their practice is now providing the Pinhole Surgical Technique as a procedure for patients who have mild to extreme gum recession . This technique is minimally invasive and is an alternative procedure to the grafting technique .
Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation is a scalpel-free , suture-free , graft-free treatment option for receding gums . It is a quick , easy and instantly pleasing procedure that can be life changing ! South Hills Dental Arts is one of the few offices in the Pittsburgh area that offers the pinhole procedure .
Gum recession is the process in which the margin of the gum tissue that protects the teeth wears away , or pulls back , exposing more of the tooth root . When gum recession occurs , “ pockets ,” or gaps , form between the teeth and gum line , therefore making it easy for disease-causing bacteria to build up and destroy teeth . If left untreated , it may ultimately result in tooth loss and even severe health consequences . Early detection and treatment is essential to maintaining overall health and saving teeth .
There are many benefits to having the pinhole procedure . It can correct gum recession in as little as one treatment session , there is minimal discomfort and swelling , pinholes heal in 24 hours in most cases , and only two over-the-counter pain pills are required after treatment . This procedure can also prevent tooth loss and the need for other costly procedures such as implants or dentures .
If you think your gums are receding , make an appointment with a South Hills Dental Arts certified Pinhole Surgical Technique dentist for an evaluation of your individual case .
