Center for Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Columbus, OH Adds Chao Pinhole Surgical Gum Rejuvenation

    COLUMBUS, OH, May 27, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Receding gums can make a person feel very self-conscious and it can cause increased sensitivity. It can also put teeth at risk. In the past, repairing receding gums meant a gum graft, which could be painful and sometimes didn't give great results. Now Dr. Michael Firouzian at the Center for Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is offering the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, which is more comfortable and effective for many people with receding gums.

In Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, a small pinhole is made in the gums where they are going to be treated. The local gum tissue is repositioned to cover the exposed tooth roots. The repositioned tissue is held in place by collagen, a protein that is common in your gum tissue. The entire procedure is done without a scalpel or sutures.

Compared to traditional gum grafting procedures, the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique results in:
* Less discomfort
* Faster healing
* Comparable, if not better results

As a result, this procedure is increasing in popularity among dentists and patients.

"I am very excited about the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique," said Dr. Firouzian, "It lets me help patients with receding gums without having to make large incisions or sutures. It's a remarkable advance in dentistry that aligns well with the goals of our practice: better care for our patients leading to a better experience and better results."
