There’s different procedures and techniques that we can use to help grow back some of the gum tissue or cover some receded areas on the teeth and that helps make those areas look more aesthetically appealing and it can also help some patients who have sensitivity in some of those areas where the recession has occurred. We make sure that all our patients are completely numb when we’re going through these procedures. It’s extremely important to us that the patient’s comfortable throughout the entire procedure and we make sure that there is profound anesthesia and that they’re very numb while we’re working. So while the procedure is going on, you will not be feeling any discomfort or pain at all.
We’ll Repair Your Receding Gums with Ease
While gum grafting has traditionally been the method for treating receding gums, the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique introduces several advantages over surgical grafting. Here’s why:
- Minimally Invasive – Unlike grafting, which involves harvesting tissue from elsewhere in your mouth or using donor tissue, the Pinhole® technique uses your existing gum tissue.
- Efficient – Dr. Daboul can repair your entire gumline within about an hour – the same amount of time traditional grafting would take for only a few teeth!
- Enhanced Comfort – This treatment avoids the need for traditional surgical tools and techniques. Your dentist will create a small pinhole in your gums and gently manipulate the tissue to cover your tooth roots.
- Speedy Recovery – Recovery is typically rapid and pain-free because your gums experience less trauma during the treatment process. There’s no need to alter your diet or oral hygiene routine.
We’ll ensure your comfort during the procedure by administering local anesthesia. If you prefer a slower pace, we can schedule a longer appointment. Additionally, dental sedation options are available to keep you relaxed throughout your treatment.
