Pinhole® Surgical Technique
As the American Dental Association (ADA) points out, if you regularly brush your teeth too hard, suffer from gum damage, have gum disease, use tobacco products, or have other medical or genetic factors, you may suffer from gingivitis.
When your gums recede, the roots of the teeth may become visible. This can increase the risk of cavities in the root of the tooth.
The ADA also points out gum decay can make your teeth sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. Fortunately, there are treatments for gum retraction, including needle hole gum surgery.
Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST™) is an innovative and minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of gum analysis. The technique, coined by Dr. John Chow, has revolutionized the gum repair procedure, offering patients a faster and more convenient alternative to traditional gum transplantation procedures. Dr. Ghayoumi is proud to provide the Pinhole® surgical technique as a treatment option for patients who want to repair a gum analysis.
What is the Pinhole Surgical Technique?
Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST™) is a specialized procedure for correcting gum analysis without incisions, sutures, or transplants. This is done with small holes in the gums near the affected areas. Dr. Ghayoumi can gently loosen and insert the gums to cover the exposed tooth roots and restore a healthier gum line through these holes.
Gum Recession Causes and the Pinhole Technique
- Aggressive brushing: Sometimes, some people think that the harder they brush, the better they brush their teeth, but I’m afraid that’s not right. Intensive brushing can cause the gums to retract.
- Using an inappropriate toothbrush: Always use a soft toothbrush to clean your teeth so as not to damage your gums.
- Teeth Grinding: Whether in subconscious or awake sleep, it can lead to many oral health problems. The use of mouthguards can prevent damage to the gums and teeth.
- Disharmony and abnormality of teeth: An abnormal tooth position can lead to gingivitis due to excessive force on the gums and jawbones.
- Gum Disease: Poor oral hygiene, such as not brushing and flossing, can lead to problems such as gum disease. The accumulation of plaques and bacteria can cause you to suffer from gum disease. If you do not start the treatment process too early and at the right time and stop the disease, there is probably a risk of various oral health complications, including gum analysis.
- Genetics: It can be one of the factors of genetic gingivitis. If you have gingivitis in your family and other family members have gingivitis, you also have a higher risk of developing it.
After you have recognized gingivitis and the practical factors in its development, you may have noticed that you are also the person who has the symptoms of gingivitis and is exposed to it. But do not worry because rejuvenating and repairing gums with new surgical techniques, including needle operations, can quickly and painlessly lead to the desired result.
Benefits of the Pinhole® Surgical Technique
The Pinhole® Surgical Technique offers several advantages over traditional gum grafting methods, including:
- Minimally invasive: Unlike traditional transplantation, PST ™ does not require the removal of donor tissue from another area of the mouth. It uses existing gum tissue and eliminates the need for cuts or stitches. This leads to minimal discomfort and a faster recovery time.
- Reduce Discomfort: PST ™ is a gentle and painless procedure. Patients experience less discomfort after surgery than traditional gum transplantation procedures, which allows for a smoother healing process.
- Faster Healing: With PST™, the holes in the gums heal quickly and naturally without seams. This will help patients recover faster and in the shortest possible time, allowing them to resume their normal activities earlier.
- Natural-Looking Results: By repositioning the existing gum tissue, PST™ creates a natural-looking gum line that enhances the beauty of a smile. The results are both pleasant and lasting.
- Versatility: The Pinhole® surgical technique can treat multiple areas with gum depression in one session. This means that patients can address several problem areas during one appointment, which saves time and minimizes the number of necessary visits.
Recovering from the Pinhole® Surgical Technique:
After performing the Pinhole® surgical technique, you will receive detailed postoperative instructions from Dr. Ghayoumi. These may include guidelines for oral hygiene, dietary restrictions, and any medications needed to support the healing process. Compliance with these guidelines is essential to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.
Maintaining Good Oral Health after PST™:
According to the Pinhole® surgical technique, maintaining oral hygiene is crucial for promoting long-term gum health.
Dr. Ghayoumi will give you personal instructions on how to care adequately for gums and teeth. Regular dental examinations and cleanings are essential to monitor oral health and avoid possible problems.
The Cost of Pinhole Surgical Technique
Like many dental procedures, the pinhole surgery costs are influenced by various factors. These factors include:
-
The extent of gum recession: The heavier the gum analysis, the more time and substances are needed for the treatment.
-
Number of teeth treated: Treating several teeth simultaneously costs more than treating one tooth.
-
Dental Experience: Experienced and specialized dentists may cost more than general dentists.
-
Equipment used: Using advanced and modern equipment may affect the final cost.
-
Geographical location: the cost of living and dental services vary depending on the region.
The cost of the operation cannot be calculated because it differs by many factors. However, this operation is very effective, and the advantages make it ideal for people looking for an efficient and minimal gum analysis.
