Gum recession can be caused by a number of factors. For example:
- Periodontal disease such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis
- Overly abrasive brushing of your teeth
- The natural aging process
You should seriously consider treatment for gum recession. Gum recession causes the normally protected root structure of the tooth to become exposed. This abnormal exposure can result in tooth decay. The exposure can also cause additional problems that may affect your teeth along the gum line and underneath the gum line.
Dr. Edison Han, Dr. Simon Choyee, Dr. Farnad Fariborz, and Dr. Mindo Lee at College Street Family Dental in Covina, California, offer the Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation Technique (also known as the Pinhole Surgical Technique [PSTtm]) for the restoration of your natural gum line and the prevention of the problems that can occur with gum recession.
Pinhole gum rejuvenation does not require incisions or sutures.
Previous treatments of gum recession required donor tissue or soft tissue grafts to be sutured in place to merge with the existing gum tissue.
The Pinhole Surgical Technique:
- A needle is used to make a small hole in the existing gum line.
- Special instruments are inserted through that tiny hole to loosen gently the gum tissue.
- Those special tools expand and move the gum line to cover the exposed root structure of your tooth.
- The procedure adjusts the existing gum tissue.
The Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation will result in less discomfort and faster recovery. It does not involve sutures, incisions, or grafting. It does produce excellent, natural-looking, long-lasting results.
