As your gum line recedes, your smile can begin to appear less attractive. This change can lead to frustration because it causes asymmetry, and because it makes certain teeth look longer and more awkward. With that said, this problem does more than just negatively affect your smile. You can also have a harder time managing your periodontal health, and you can experience more difficulties with dental sensitivity! Through the Pinhole Surgical Technique, we can carefully manipulate tissues through pin-sized holes, a process that restores your gum line while doing less to actually manipulate the tissues.
Gum grafting treatment restores portions of your gum line by providing healthy tissues and encouraging reattachment to teeth roots. The use of laser technology enables us to move tissues into position without making incisions. This results in less tissue damage and shorter healing times. It also removes the need for us to use sutures, and it lowers your risk for infection after a procedure.
Through laser technology, we can make many important periodontal treatments easier for patients to undergo. Jawbone grafting is another procedure that benefits from the use of lasers. This procedure helps people who are trying to qualify for dental implant placement. Lasers allow us to more carefully manipulate soft and harder tissues. We also provide laser periodontal services to directly deal with bacteria and encourage the growth of healthy gums.
At our practice, patients who look into gum grafting treatment can find that we offer this service while preserving more of their healthy tissues. Through the Pinhole Surgical Technique, we can more carefully manipulate your gum line while shortening your recovery time and lowering your infection risks post-treatment.
