The Pinhole Gum Surgery Treatment Process
Consultation and Examination
During the initial consultation, Dr. Anaissa Cortes will conduct a thorough examination of your gums and teeth. She will assess the extent of gum recession and discuss your treatment goals. This step is crucial for creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and ensures optimal results. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and understand the procedure in detail.
Preparation and Anesthesia
On the day of the procedure, the treatment area will be prepared, and a local anesthetic will be administered to ensure your comfort. This step involves numbing the gums to prevent any discomfort during the surgery. Dr. Cortes will explain each step as she proceeds, ensuring you feel at ease and informed throughout the process.
The Pinhole Technique
Once the area is numb, Dr. Cortes will create a small entry point in the gum tissue. Using specialized instruments, she will gently loosen the gum tissue and reposition it over the exposed roots. This technique requires precision and skill, ensuring the gum tissue is placed correctly for optimal healing and aesthetics. The procedure is completed without the need for stitches, allowing for a smooth recovery.
