Dr. Kirk Noraian Brings Scalpel-Free, Minimally Invasive Procedure for Treating Receding Gums to Illinois with the Pinhole Surgical Technique™
Bloomington, IL (PRWEB) September 25, 2014 -- Central Illinoisans can now improve their oral health and the appearance of their smile with a new gum recession treatment in Bloomington-Normal, IL and Champaign-Urbana, IL using the Pinhole Surgical Technique™. Dr. Kirk Noraian performs this suture-less method as an alternative to traditional gum grafting surgery.
Dr. Kirk Noraian offers a new treatment for receding gums, which is not only cosmetic, but fast, minimally invasive and highly effective. This new approach, called the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ (PST™), treats gum recession without scalpels, stitches or having to collect tissue from the roof of the mouth. Dr. Noraian trained with Dr. John Chao, the creator of this cutting-edge approach, and is among the first doctors performing this technique worldwide.
Gum recession can result from brushing too hard, brushing improperly, having crowded teeth, poor access for cleaning, or genetics. Some people may have no idea their gums are receding and others may be sensitive to cold or sweets. Without treatment, gum recession can lead to tooth decay, bone loss, tissue damage, and losing teeth too early.
Using PST™, Dr. Noraian creates a small pinhole in the soft tissue of the gums near the area of recession, and uses small microsurgery instruments to gently loosen and guide the soft tissue to its best location. To accomplish this procedure, no stitches, scalpels or tissue grafts are necessary. When the procedure is completed, the patient sees the improved gum-line immediately with minimal discomfort afterward. In as little as one day, the pinhole closes and the tissues adapt to their new position. Unlike traditional grafting methods, the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ allows for multiple teeth to be treated at the same time.
