If you have sensitive teeth, there is a good chance that you also have a receding gum line. As gum tissue pulls back from teeth surfaces, the sensitive layer of dentin that is found just beneath the tough enamel outer layer is gradually revealed. Dentin is closer to the nerve center of each tooth and this substance can be irritated by many different foods and drinks. Acidic or sour foods, hot drinks, and iced beverages can all cause that painful sensation.

You can get help for receding gums at the Dental Health and Aesthetics Center. Dr. Cho is an expert at performing the pinhole surgical technique at her office in Aliso Viejo, CA; this special treatment helps people recover from receding gums and enjoy improved oral health.

 Surgical Treatment for Receding Gums

Restoring gum tissue is sometimes best accomplished by surgery. There are actually several surgical approaches to this concern, including the innovative pinhole technique that Dr. Cho uses. It has several important advantages, including:

  • Minimally invasive form of care
  • No needles or sutures are required to correct gum recession
  • Multiple teeth can be treated at once
  • Fast healing time following surgery
  • Little-to-no bleeding or swelling

Because pinhole gum surgery is so minimally invasive, patients are likely to experience lest post-surgery pain and can enjoy faster recovery times. This lets you get back to your regular routine with less interruption. Patients also report being very satisfied with the improved appearance of their smile; the pinhole technique is truly an advancement in gum recession surgery and it has helped millions of patients.

Is Pinhole Surgery Right for You?
