Dr. Mike Weaks Now Offers the Pinhole Surgical Technique – A Minimally Invasive Procedure for Patients with Gum Disease
Greenville, TX (PRWEB) September 13, 2017 -- Mike Weaks, DDS, of Longbranch Dental Center is now helping Greenville, Texas patients prevent periodontal disease via the Pinhole® Surgical Technique, a scalpel-free, suture-free dentistry procedure for patients who require gum surgery.
“I am excited to bring the Pinhole Surgical Technique to our Greenville dental practice because it means we can finally move away from traditional measures of correcting gum recession and loss. The benefits of this procedure include less discomfort during the procedure and a shorter recovery time,” Dr. Weaks states.
Traditionally, gum surgery is a highly invasive procedure with the drawbacks of long recovery times and excessive amounts of pain for the patients. The Pinhole Surgical Technique allows dentists to use specialized instruments and techniques to gently loosen the tissue by making a small pinhole in the gum. The loosened tissue subsequently glides towards the new, permanent position in order to protect the patient’s dentition. This advanced procedure typically takes one to two hours and in most cases, patients can resume their normal activities the next day.
Before implementing this procedure at Longbranch Dental Center, Dr. Weaks underwent hands-on training that was overseen by Dr. John Chao, the inventor of the Pinhole Surgical Technique.
