Your gum line may have recessed due to your struggles with periodontal disease. This is just one of many problems an infection can cause. In time, bacteria can damage tissues surrounding teeth, causing them to be lost, and they can spread beyond your gums to create trouble for your general health. With that said, gum line recession is a visible problem that you may need to deal with, one that can affect your well-being as well as your appearance.
The Pinhole Surgical Technique uses laser technology to make gum grafting a less invasive process. Instead of cutting and attaching tissues to areas where your gums have receded, Dr. Kania uses small holes to carefully manipulate tissues into place. There will be no need to use a scalpel, no need for suturing, and less bleeding when this procedure is done. Because the process is less invasive and does not require suturing, you can see the results of treatment sooner, and your recovery can be easier!
Laser technology has many benefits when it comes to periodontal care. Laser periodontal treatment to fight bacteria and remove infected tissues can take place before you undergo grafting treatment. By using lasers to fight an active infection, we can carefully remove harmful agents and encourage the growth of healthy tissues in a way that is less invasive than treatment with manual tools. We also use lasers when accessing your jawbone for a grafting procedure to strengthen the bone before dental implant placement.
