Dr. Andrea Smith Now Offers the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ for Patients in Carmichael, CA with Receding Gums
Carmichael, CA (PRWEB) May 27, 2014 -- For individuals who may be suffering from receding gums or others signs of gum disease, Dr. Andrea Smith provides an innovative solution through her practice. The procedure, known as the Pinhole Surgical Technique™, does not necessitate the use of an incision and provides immediate cosmetic benefits. This procedure may be very beneficial to individuals showing signs of gum recession in Carmichael, CA and Sacramento, CA, as it is considered to be an effective solution to many of the causes of gum recession.
The presence of gum disease is a common issue on a nationwide basis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 47 percent of Americans suffer from some form of gum disease, which includes symptoms such as receding gums. While these statistics are shockingly high, many of these individuals do not seek treatment for their condition, instead allowing the severity of the disease to worsen over time. The availability of the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ through Dr. Smith’s practice may help patients with gum recession in the Carmichael, CA and Sacramento, CA area find a solution to this issue in a manner that is minimally invasive and results in an immediate cosmetic benefit.
Dr. Smith is able to use the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ to alleviate the presence of receding gums without the need for traditional gum surgery. Unlike other solutions to gum recession, this procedure does not require the use of a scalpel, instead using a small hole along with special instruments to loosen gum tissue. The loosened tissue is then relocated to areas that are suffering from gum recession, resulting in a process that is both simple and minimally invasive. The procedure boasts a fast recovery and healing time, and patients can have multiple teeth treated in a single visit.
Current and prospective patients of Dr. Smith who may be interested in learning more about the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ may call the doctor’s office to schedule an appointment. While the procedure is available to sufferers of gum recession in Carmichael, CA and Sacramento, CA, it may still be necessary to go through an initial consultation to determine each patient’s respective eligibility for the procedure.
