5 Reasons Why You Should Consider Non-Invasive Gum Rejuvenation - Pinhole Surgical Technique

Do you frequently experience sensitivity on your teeth? Do your gums feel inflamed for extended periods of time? Do you have unusually long-looking teeth these days? If you found yourself answering a resounding YES to any of the questions above, there’s a possibility that you’ll need to get your gums rejuvenated. But before you think “Ouch! That sounds painful and could cost me lots of money,” take a step back and see if you’re qualified to get a procedure.

You could be a likely candidate for gum rejuvenation if:

You are suffering or have suffered from a serious gum disease. Do you have sensitive teeth, sore and swollen gums, and/or bleeding gums on a regular basis? These are possible symptoms of periodontal disease usually caused by a bacterial infection that starts from plaque buildup that destroys gum tissue & the supporting bone that holds teeth in place.
Your age has caught up with your gums. The same way your skin changes and loses its elasticity as you get older, it’s natural for your gums to naturally decrease because of the wear and tear it has experienced over the years.
You’re harsh on your teeth. Older people aren’t the only ones who could be going through gum recession. If you aggressively brush your teeth, clench your teeth, or unconsciously grind your teeth at night, you could be advancing the way your gums would naturally diminish.
You’ve been smoking or chewing tobacco for years. Smoking cigarettes has been known to weaken the body’s immune system and make you more prone to gum disease that affects the foundation of your teeth. Chewing tobacco, on the other hand, can aggravate your mouth’s gingival lining.
You have crooked teeth or misaligned bite. When your teeth do not come together evenly, excessive force can be placed on gums & bones, allowing the gums to recede.

No matter what the cause, when your gums pull away from your teeth and form noticeable spaces, the foundation of your teeth can become easily infected. If left untreated, gingivitis can develop into periodontitis and you could end up with tooth decay, tissue and bone deterioration, or worse, tooth loss.

The good news is that gum recession can be treated. However, every case is unique and should be carefully diagnosed by qualified dentist before any treatment is done. Oraderm Care Clinic offers comprehensive dental assessment and customized treatment that put the focus on the patient’s holistic and lasting dental wellness.

Dr. Marie Syjuco of Oraderm Care Clinic is the first certified clinician in the Philippines to offer the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST)—a virtually pain-free procedure for qualified patients in need of gum rejuvenation.

This modern, alternative treatment is the best option for people with receding gum condition because PST provides eight remarkable perks for its patients:

1) There is no need for uncomfortable sutures that take some time to heal.

2) Scalpels or invasive surgical tools are not used during the procedure.

3) There is no need to take donor tissue from the patient’s palate.

4) Several gum areas can be treated at once, making the treatment less expensive than the traditional gum grafting procedure.

5) There is less risk for the patient and better post-operative experience due to minimal symptoms of pain, swelling, and bleeding.

6) Patients recover faster compared to traditional gum grafting surgery.

7) Tooth loss and the need for costly dental procedures such as implants and dentures are avoided.

8) Patients encounter excellent, natural-looking, and long-lasting results.
