Drs. Reid Nelson and Doug Lowy Expand Patient Services for Receding Gums Treatment, Now Offer Georgetown, KY Residents the Pinhole Surgical Technique™
Georgetown, KY (PRWEB) January 13, 2015 -- Drs. Reid Nelson and Doug Lowy now accept patients from Georgetown, KY for the minimally invasive Pinhole Surgical Technique™ to treat receding gums. This new gum recession treatment introduces a low risk of complications, such as bleeding, infection and delayed healing. In most cases, the procedure can effectively correct even severe or widespread recession in one appointment.
The Pinhole Surgical Technique™ does not require the harvesting or relocation of healthy gum tissue; instead, Drs. Nelson and Lowy directly reposition the tissue that has receded. By making a tiny incision in the affected tissue and then using a small tool to reach through the incision and loosen the gum tissue, the doctors can move the receding tissue to a more natural position. No sutures are needed to stabilize the new position of the gum tissue, and the minimally invasive nature of the procedure reduces the likelihood of infections and other complications. Most patients from Georgetown, KY, experience minimal pain or discomfort following this receding gums treatment.
The PST™ procedure offers both cosmetic improvements and health benefits for people suffering from receding gums in Georgetown, KY. Gum recession can leave teeth vulnerable to infection and trauma. Teeth may also become more sensitive and mobile as they lose the support and protection that healthy gum tissue provides. Besides addressing these issues, gum recession treatment with Drs. Nelson and Lowy lets patients learn whether they need additional treatments to preserve their oral health. Sometimes, gum recession occurs due to factors such as genetics or hormonal levels. However, it often is associated with oral health habits or problems, such as aggressive brushing, inadequate hygiene, teeth grinding or gum disease. If this is the case, early diagnosis can greatly reduce the risk of long-term health complications.
Visual changes in tooth length, gum pocket depth or gum health are common symptoms of gum recession. Some patients also notice the appearance of the yellow or etched cementum at the base of their teeth. Patients who see these warning signs are encouraged to schedule an appointment with Drs. Nelson and Lowy at their practice office in Louisville to determine whether they may benefit from the Pinhole Surgical Technique™.
