Dassani Dentistry Now Welcomes Pasadena, TX Residents for Minimally Invasive Gum Recession Treatment
Pasadena, TX (PRWEB) June 01, 2015 -- Meghna Dassani, DMD, with Dassani Dentistry is now accepting new patients who suffer from receding gums in Pasadena, TX. She offers the latest techniques to reduce trauma and ensure that her patients are comfortable. The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique is a gum graft alternative eliminating cuts and stitches. An individual experiences minimal discomfort, a short recovery time, and a much higher chance of complete gum line restoration.
The expression “long in the tooth” is a reference to the attrition of the gum line due to aging, but there are a number of other reasons that tooth roots become exposed. Aggressive tooth brushing and poor oral hygiene habits increase the risk factors, as well as some medications, oral piercings, and gum disease. The aesthetic change in the smile is only one of the problems caused by recession. Tooth roots do not have an enamel coating, which causes hot, cold and sweet stimuli to directly affect the nerve and increase sensitivity and pain. Perhaps the most serious side effect is the accumulation of bacteria, in the gaps between the gums and teeth, increasing the risk of periodontitis.
Although individuals with receding gums in Pasadena, TX, are at risk for serious issues, some dentists are hesitant to recommend gum grafting surgery. This is due to the invasive nature of the procedure. Connective tissue grafts require a dentist to take tissue from elsewhere in the mouth and stitch it to the gums around the exposed area. The tissue is often cut from a small incision in the roof of the mouth. Pedicle grafts use a flap of tissue cut from nearby gums that is stretched over the root and stitched in place.
To reduce fears about such invasive surgeries, Dr. Dassani became certified to offer a gum graft alternative, known as the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique. She uses the specialized tools to create a tiny hole in the gums, which loosens the tissue and guides it back into place. A strip of collagen holds the gums in place while they heal. Most patients report minimal discomfort and complete reversal of the recession. Anyone in Pasadena, TX, with receding gums, may be a candidate for this procedure. More information about this gum graft alternative is available on Dr. Dassani’s website.
