Gum line recession can affect your appearance by making your teeth look longer, more uneven, and generally not as attractive. This is certainly cause for concern on its own. Unfortunately, there are other consequences to this problem that you should know about. The exposure of areas that are normally covered by periodontal tissues can make you more vulnerable to oral health problems and issues with dental sensitivity. Even if this change is not caused by a periodontal infection, it can make you more vulnerable to one. Because this is an issue that can impact your smile as well as your oral health, it is beneficial to make its treatment a priority when you realize that something is wrong.
With laser technology, our practice can provide a gum grafting treatment experience that removes the need for surgical cuts and sutures, making the procedure itself and recovery easier for patients. Through the use of the Pinhole Surgical Technique, Dr. Kania can use small, pin-sized holes to carefully manipulate tissues into place. This preserves more of your healthy tissues, plus it reduces your risk for infection as it makes healing briefer and easier.
Our practice relies on laser technology during many important periodontal procedures. Because of this, we can make important services easier for patients, leading to better experiences in our office and easier recovery times after. In addition to gum grafting treatments, we use lasers to directly deal with periodontal disease by removing diseased gums and bacteria, as well as by using these tools during jawbone grafting treatment.
Through the restoration of your gum line, our practice can improve your appearance, restore your oral health, and even reduce your risks for problems with future oral health difficulties. If you would like to learn more, or if you wish to discuss treatment with us, call Dr. Kania’s office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
