Las Vegas Cosmetic Dentist Dr. James B. Polley Offers Treatment for Receding Gums

    LAS VEGAS, NV, September 17, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Most people notice receding gums because of their unattractive appearance or because they cause sensitivity to heat and cold. But receding gums can also put teeth at risk. Now Dr. James B. Polley offers a new way to repair receding gums that doesn't require surgical gum grafting.

The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique uses a tiny incision to loosen and reposition gum tissue that is in the area. There's no need for a donor site in the roof of the mouth as with traditional gum graft. Once the local gum tissue is repositioned, it is held in place with a collagen glue. Collagen is the protein that makes up most of the gum tissue, so this adhesive is quickly absorbed and incorporated into the healing gums.

A clinical study compared the new technique to traditional gum grafting and found that Chao Pinhole surgery has several benefits, including:
* Less discomfort
* Faster healing
* Comparable results
And because local gum tissue is used, there is no risk of tissue incompatibility, which can lead to unattractive results. As a result of these benefits, the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique is becoming one of the fastest-growing cosmetic dentistry techniques.

"We always strive to offer the best procedures available," said Dr. Polley, "so we're constantly evaluating new treatments as they become proven techniques. When we looked at the study and other information about the Chao technique, we knew it was something that would benefit our patients so we decided to offer it."
