Find out more about pinhole gum surgery for receding gum tissues
Pinhole gum surgery is a treatment that addresses receding gums and is far less invasive than traditional gum grafting. Dr. Don Mungcal of Downtown Dental is a professional in the Los Angeles, California, area offering this treatment, which all dental offices do not provide. Specific training and experience are needed to offer pinhole gum surgery to patients. Let’s go over it in more detail to know what you can expect when asking about this and other treatment options.
What is pinhole gum surgery?
Imagine a minimally invasive procedure that doesn’t require cutting or stitches to fix receding gums. This sounds pretty amazing. Pinhole gum surgery does exactly that! It uses a tiny “pinhole” to loosen and reposition your gum tissue, covering exposed roots with gentle precision. It is much less invasive than other treatments for receding gums, making it a popular choice for many patients.
Does pinhole gum surgery hurt?
Not at all! The procedure is surprisingly gentle, and most patients report little to no discomfort. Plus, recovery is a breeze since no cutting or stitching is involved. You will be back to flashing your gums with confidence in no time!
How long does the procedure take?
This particular treatment is usually short and sweet! Depending on how many areas need treatment, the procedure usually wraps up within one to two hours. This makes it a fast treatment option for busy professionals and adults who are short on time during the workweek.
How soon will I see the results?
With pinhole gum surgery, the results are instant! Once the gums are repositioned, the improvement is visible right away. Say goodbye to receding gums and hello to a healthier, fuller smile!
Will my gums go back to receding after surgery?
Not if you take care of them! Maintaining healthy dental habits like proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups is best to keep your gums in place.
Is pinhole gum surgery safe for everyone?
For most of our patients, absolutely! It is a great option for those experiencing gum recession. Dr. Mungcal and his team take time to evaluate your specific case to make sure it is the best choice for you. Trust the professionals as they work with patients daily, helping them determine the treatments best for their unique needs.
