When you develop periodontal disease and don’t seek treatment, the tissues could begin to recede from the teeth. When this occurs, your teeth could appear long and uneven. The uncovered root portions could be very susceptible to tooth decay and infection. In addition, this means the disease is reaching a more advanced stage, one linked to periodontist and adult tooth loss. But our team can use the Pinhole Surgical Technique to offer a conservative solution!
Our team will use dental lasers as part of the process to help reshape gum and bone tissue. Lasers can target tissues with precision and avoid damage to healthy ones, while also limiting the risk of bleeding, swelling, or infection. The lack of scalpels and sutures means the area will heal much quicker. Our team then makes a miniscule hole in the periodontal tissues near the receded areas. We add a unique collagen material to the area, and then manipulate the tissues until they cover the teeth again and correct the receded portions. We also adjust the gum line to ensure the results are symmetrical and attractive. This can be made in only one visit!
While periodontal disease cannot be cured, it can be managed with regular preventive care. Following your treatment, we can use holistic options like cleanings, supportive periodontal maintenance, oxygen therapy, and medications to help manage the disease and keep your smile intact and healthy. You avoid the risk of periodontitis and tooth loss, and your gums continue to frame your smile and remain symmetrical. If you have any questions about how we diagnose and treat not only periodontal disease, but the complications like gum recession, then contact our team today to learn more.
