Minimally Invasive Gum Recession Treatment
In Cortland, OH
Gum recession occurs so slowly that you may not realize you have lost gum tissue until it has changed the appearance of your smile. Receding gums are unattractive and unhealthy, too.
Immediate Relief from Receeding Gums
Cortland, OH
Your gums are supposed to provide a barrier to disease and decay and without ample tissue, your tooth roots are left vulnerable. Replacing the soft tissue is critical, but many patients are anxious about gum grafting surgery.
Dr. Joseph Bedich offers the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST™) to correct your gum recession in Cortland, OH. PST™ is a minimally invasive gum graft alternative.
What Is the Minimally Invasive Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique?
Through a small hole created in the gum tissue above or below your affected tooth, Dr. Bedich can access the connective tissue that holds your gum line in position. By loosening this tissue, he can readjust your gum tissue, moving it just enough to cover your exposed root. Your beautiful new gum line is held in place with collagen while it reattaches. Receding gums can be resolved in a single visit, depending upon the extent of your condition.
- Your smile is dramatically improved in a single visit
- Many teeth may be treated at a time
- Reduced swelling and bleeding
- No scalpels or sutures
- Faster healing
