Dr. Kiya Green now offers the Pinhole Surgical Technique for patients of Matthews Periodontics with gum recession

Matthews, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/29/2016 -- Dr. Kiya Green, periodontist at Matthews Periodontics in North Carolina is now offering the Pinhole Surgical Technique for patients who are experiencing gum recession as a non-surgical alternative to traditional gum grating surgery. The Pinhole Surgical Technique does not require incisions and uses special instruments to loosen the gum tissue and reposition it over the receding areas. Because there is no cutting and suturing of the tissues in the mouth, the recovery for this procedure is much shorter and much less painful.

Gum recession is a serious condition that affects millions of people as a result of gum disease, bruxism, trauma from abrasive brushing, smoking, and certain medications. Gum recession can threaten the vitality of the surrounding teeth due to root exposure if left untreated for too long. Traditional gum grafting procedures involve scalpels and suturing, taking healthy tissue from the roof of the mouth and placing it in the receding areas. Although this method is proven to be effective in most cases, recovery can be extremely painful for the patient. With the Pinhole Surgical Technique, patients experience much less pain and downtime during the recovery process and enjoy results that are just as effective.

As the name implies, the Pinhole Surgical Technique involves making tiny pinholes in the receding gum tissue that gently detaches it from the bone beneath. With the tissue loosened, Dr. Green can then reposition it to cover the areas of the tooth that were exposed due to the gum recession. The process is fairly quick and can be used to treat multiple teeth in one visit. Because no incisions are required, bleeding is very minimal as is the recovery period.

The innovative Pinhole Surgical Technique was invented and is patented by Dr. Chao. Dr. Green is one of few periodontists in the area, and in the country, who offers this innovative procedure. The Pinhole Surgical Technique is just one of the many advanced treatments Dr. Kiya Green offers her patients in Matthews, NC. She is also trained in using the LANAP laser for the treatment of gum disease without traditional surgery.

Dr. Kiya Green of Matthews Periodontics in North Carolina offers latest treatment for gum disease with the LANAP laser

Matthews, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/20/2016 -- Dental patients in Matthews, NC who need treatment for gum disease now have access to some of the latest technology available in the industry with the LANAP laser at Matthews Periodontics with Dr. Kiya Green. Dr. Green is one of few dental professionals in the area who is trained to offer this procedure that treats gum disease without the traditional methods of scalpels and sutures. The LANAP laser is the only FDA cleared protocol for the treatment of periodontitis and offers patients a myriad of benefits compared to the traditional methods of treating this condition.

Gum disease is a serious condition that not only causes poor oral health and permanent tooth loss, but is also linked to several other serious health concerns such as heart disease, diabetes, pancreatic cancer, and premature birth. With the LANAP laser, patients can forego invasive treatment with incisions and sutures and can instead receive a minimally invasive treatment with the latest technology that is proven to eliminate up to 90 percent of the gum inflammation in just a single treatment.

LANAP technology makes it possible for Dr. Green to reach and eliminate the bacteria under the gum line that is causing the inflammation without harming or having to eliminate the healthy tissue, as would be necessary with traditional treatment methods of periodontitis. The heat and light energy of the LANAP also aids in bone tissue regeneration at the same time it is killing bacteria. Another benefit of this procedure is that the laser works to seal off the gums after treatment, resulting in minimal bleeding and discomfort during treatment, and a faster healing time following the treatment.

LANAP treatment is proven to save healthy teeth even when advanced stage periodontitis threatens their viability. Patients appreciate how quick and painless this procedure is, as well as the minimal recovery time that is required after the procedure. Offering LANAP protocol is just one of the ways Dr. Green is keeping her commitment to patients of always offering the latest industry treatments, methods, and technology in order to provide them with the highest level of care.

Dr. Kiya Green in Matthews, NC now offers local patients the most advanced procedure available for the treatment of gum recession

Matthews, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/03/2016 -- Dr. Kiya Green, periodontist at Matthews Periodontics recently introduced one of the latest non-invasive techniques for the treatment of gum recession to her practice in Matthews, NC. Using the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST), Dr. Green is able to correct gum recession for patients without the traditional method of gum grafting that requires incisions, gum flaps, and suturing. This innovative procedure has proven effective for treating gum recession and involves much less pain and recovery time.

Gum recession not only affects the aesthetics of a smile, but in its advanced stages, it can lead to the weakening or even the loss of permanent teeth because of the lack of supporting tissue that used to surround the tooth. Traditional treatment for gum recession involves surgically removing a portion of gum tissue from the palate of the mouth, then placing that portion in the area of the gum recession and carefully suturing it into place. While this method is effective in correcting gum recession, it causes pain, discomfort, and bleeding for the patient along with several days or even weeks of recovery time.

The Pinhole Surgical Technique was invented and patented by Dr. John Chao who wanted to find a more efficient solution to correcting the problem of gum recession. With the PST procedure, Dr. Green makes a tiny pinhole in the gums near the area of recession that is used to insert a special instrument that gently detaches the collagen fibers in the gums from the teeth. Once detached, the gums can be gently stretched back into the proper position and secured with inserted collagen fibers. With this method, no scalpels or sutures are required, recovery time is decreased dramatically, and there is much less bleeding involved.

Dr. Green offers consultations for patients who are struggling with gum recession to determine if they are a good candidate for this innovative PST treatment. In addition to this non-invasive technique, Dr. Green offers other advanced treatment for gum disease and gum recession, including the laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP), dental implants, and more.
