Approximately half of the population of the United States suffers from gum recession; now, our minimally invasive pinhole surgical rejuvenation can restore gums, even if you are pregnant. Until now, there have been improvement options available, but they require long healing periods and invasive procedures. This unique procedure allows us to drastically improve the appearance of receding gums with little surgical intervention. The “surgery” that does occur is performed through a tiny, needle-point-size hole. This treatment is safe for pregnant women and encouraged if gum recession is a bothersome issue.
Pinhole Surgical Rejuvenation
No one likes the appearance of receding gums. Not only is it unsightly, but it can also put your teeth and dental health at risk for infection and damage. Potential problems include teeth that look grossly elongated, discoloration of teeth, quicker and more extensive tooth decay, root damage, and even tooth loss. With pinhole surgical rejuvenation, you can have gum recession corrected before it causes these problems, in an incision-free, suture-free procedure. A needle makes a tiny hole, through which specially designed surgical instruments loosen areas of gum tissue and place it back over the exposed area of the tooth. The gum tissues can also be rejuvenated with a unique collagen material. No cutting is necessary for the procedure, so the healing time is minimal and symptoms following the procedure are minimal or nonexistent. You will also be able to see an immediate improvement in your gum recession.
Why Pinhole Surgical Rejuvenation Is Safe During Pregnancy
More bacteria naturally occur in the mouths of pregnant women. If receding gums exist, you are already at risk for an infection. Any dental treatment or procedure that requires incisions or invasive work can leave healing wounds that may easily develop into an infection due to the overproduction of bacteria. Since no incisions will be made with pinhole surgical rejuvenation, side effects like bleeding, swelling, and discomfort are kept at a minimum, and infection never occurs.
With traditional procedures used to improve gum recession, like gum grafting, the use of donor tissue or tissue from another area in the mouth is used to rebuild the gum line. This process takes several incision sites and sutures, as well as a long recovery time. The longer it takes for a wound or incision to heal, the longer it is exposed to bacteria that already exists in the mouth. Antibiotics can be taken during this time, but any unnecessary medication use is advised against during pregnancy. Instead of risking the complications of other gum recession improvement techniques, visit us for a safe and effective pinhole surgical rejuvenation.
Following pinhole surgical rejuvenation, you will notice an immediate improvement in the appearance of your smile and gums. The results speak for themselves: according to the International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, 95 percent of patients who have undergone this procedure are happy with their results.
