Gum line recession is one of many problems that can affect someone who is dealing with periodontal disease. As your gums start to recede, they expose portions of your teeth that are naturally more sensitive, and have less protection, which can lead to more discomfort and dental problems over time. This issue can also lead to unwelcome cosmetic changes that can impact your confidence in your smile.
Rather than perform a gum grafting procedure that relies on manual tools to manipulate gum tissues and change your appearance, Dr. Kania can use the Pinhole Surgical Technique to provide a more conservative solution to this problem. The small, pin-sized holes we make can be used to carefully manipulate your periodontal tissues and change your gum line. Because this reduces the amount of work done on your gum line and removes suturing from the process, you can enjoy an easier recovery and spend less time waiting to see the cosmetic benefits of treatment!
We can use lasers to address active problems with your periodontal health. Through the use of our laser tools, we are able to carefully access areas where bacteria have gathered and remove harmful microbes, and we can also encourage the growth of healthy tissues by removing portions of your gums that are infected.
Through the pinhole gum grafting procedures we provide at our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, we are able to help patients fight the effects of periodontal disease and restore their appearance with less work than you might think possible! In addition to using lasers for gum grafting procedures, we also use them to fight periodontal bacteria, and they can be relied on for jawbone grafting treatments.
