Savannah Dentist, Dr. Rod Strickland Now Offering Pinhole Gum Surgery

    SAVANNAH, GA, December 29, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Savannah cosmetic dentist, Dr. Rod Strickland recently joined the ranks of a growing number of dentists nationwide who offer no-cut, no-stitch gum rejuvenation using the Chao Pinhole Surgery Technique (PST). PST allows gums to be moved into a healthier position without a scalpel or donor site.

In the past, the most common procedure used for receding gums is the traditional gum graft. In this painful procedure, gum tissue is cut from a donor site, typically the roof of the mouth. This gum graft is then stitched into place over the area where the gums have receded. The surgical procedure comes with a number of risks related to the donor site as well as the treatment site, including discomfort, postoperative bleeding, and swelling.

PST corrects receding gums without a graft from one site to another. Instead, local gum tissue is repositioned through a small hole created by a needle, and held in place temporarily with collagen until the gum tissue heals. There are no stitches.

"Healthy gums are an important part of an attractive smile," says Dr. Strickland. "They establish the proper size and shape of teeth. They're also important to protect against tooth sensitivity to hot or cold beverages. The Pinhole Surgical Technique is the best way to restore receding gums for most people."
