Pinhole Treatment vs. Traditional Gum Grafts
Gum recession is a common problem that comes with age, but it’s often associated with the acceleration of periodontal disease. Even with treatment to stop the gum disease, the recession won’t necessarily reverse. Lost tissue needs more intensive responses like grafting to restore the natural gum line. Without restoration, missing gum tissue exposes tooth roots to infection and damage, putting the entire jaw bone at risk. Protect your overall health with a timely gum graft. Pinhole grafting techniques are relatively new, but they are minimally invasive options for restoring gum tissue with the addition of collagen.
