Dr. Jin Kim Treats Receding Gums in Orange, CA with Minimally Invasive Technique without Scalpels or Sutures
ORANGE, Calif., May 30, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Jin Y. Kim, a board-certified periodontist, offers the groundbreaking, minimally invasive Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST) to treat the receding gums of patients in Orange, CA. PST provides a convenient and gentle alternative to more invasive gum grafting surgery for individuals suffering from some of the effects of untreated, long-term periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease is believed to affect nearly half the adult population. Without proper management under the care of a trained periodontist, periodontal disease can lead to several permanent problems. One common issue faced by periodontal disease sufferers is receding gums, a condition where the gums pull down and back, no longer protecting the teeth and jawbone. Over time, gum recession can lead to heightened tooth sensitivity, increased likelihood of tooth decay and tooth loss.
PST restores the gum tissue to a more natural position without relying on sutures or scalpels. During the PST protocol, Dr. Kim makes a pinhole-sized hole in the affected gum tissue. Using specialized instruments, he maneuvers existing gum tissue at the site of the gum recession to create a natural gum line. Results are immediately visible, and most patients report rapid healing after undergoing PST. Because the periodontist requires no secondary surgical site, as would be the case with a traditional gum graft, the procedure can be completed quickly and efficiently.
Dr. Kim offers PST treatment at both of his offices, located in Diamond Bar, CA and West Garden Grove, CA. Candidates for this treatment now include adults with receding gums who suffer from gum recession that is hereditary, or that is a result of periodontal disease or aggressive brushing habits.
Dr. Jin Kim and his team welcome the opportunity to evaluate patients in Orange, CA with receding gums. Self-referrals are welcome at both of his locations, which can be reached at 909-860-9222 for Diamond Bar or 714-898-8757 for Garden Grove.
