As gum tissues recede, they reveal portions of our teeth that are more sensitive, which can lead to discomfort. This exposure can also make your smile look awkward and less attractive. This recession is not always caused by gum disease, but it does make someone more vulnerable to an infection. Fortunately, patients at our practice have access to grafting treatment that relies on the Pinhole Surgical Technique, a method of moving tissues that relies on small, pin-like holes that are used to manipulate tissues, rather than cutting and suturing to modify a patient’s gums.
We use lasers during several periodontal procedures, including grafting treatments. For gum grafting, lasers let us move forward with a less invasive procedure that can have less impact on your periodontal tissues, require less care after a procedure, and even heal in a shorter time. Lasers also reduce your chances of experiencing complications after work is finished.
Laser tools make more than just gum and jawbone grafting services more comfortable for patients. They also allow us to deal directly with periodontal disease by removing bacteria and clearing away diseased tissues. When manual tools are used, this process can call for suturing to help with healing, and your recovery period can be longer. After an evaluation, we can determine if this work is necessary, or if there is still time to reverse or control an infection through preventive periodontal care.
By providing gum grafting treatment through the Pinhole Surgical Technique, Dr. Kania can make your experience with periodontal care easier, and even make your recovery time shorter. This is one of many services we are prepared to offer to characters who are in need of care to manage potentially serious problems with their gums.
