Stay Comfortable With Sedation & Minimally Invasive Treatments
Your gums provide the perfect frame to showcase beautiful and sparkling white teeth. However, if your gums have receded or are too gummy, others may notice your gums instead of your teeth. Dr. Keene uses advanced techniques to address the flaws in your gumline and restore your gums. He also offers procedures that will prepare you to receive crowns or veneers.
Dr. Keene uses the Chao Pinhole® technique to replenish your gums. This approach uses tiny pinholes to gently reposition your gum tissue. It offers numerous benefits:
- Minimally Invasive - You avoid uncomfortable incisions and sutures. It results in less discomfort during the procedure and while you are healing.
- Quick Healing - You can return to your normal routines much faster thanks to a quicker healing process.
- Less Downtime - Compared to a gum graft, you won't have to make as many adjustments to your diet or oral hygiene while your gums heal.
- Natural Appearance - Following a gum graft, gums may appear white for a time. This won't happen with a pinhole procedure.
If your teeth are too short, or you want to change the appearance of a gummy smile, Dr. Keene can use a laser to remove excess gum tissue. It's painless and comfortable, and you can expect a fast recovery with this procedure as well. This also makes it easier to receive a crown or a veneer.
Sedation options are available to ease any anxiety you may feel about treatment. You can choose laughing gas, an oral sedative, or IV sedation administered by an anesthesiologist.
