Causes of Gum Recession

Many people need gum surgery to restore receding gums. The common causes of gum recession include:

• Gum disease
• Genetics
• Tooth brushing technique
• Insufficient dental care
• Hormonal fluctuations
• Bruxism
• Misaligned bite
• Body piercings

The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™)

Benefits of PST™

Some of the key benefits of PST™ include:

• Minimally invasive procedure
• Immediate cosmetic benefit
• Corrects gum recession without needles or sutures
• No bleeding or swelling involved
• Fast healing and recovery time
• Treat multiple teeth in one visit
• Helps create a more attractive smile

If you have gum recession, Dr. Keith Chertok may recommend PST™ to restore your smile. This highly advanced procedure does not involve making any incisions, so the gums heal very quickly. Patients enjoy a fast recovery time and the procedure can be performed over multiple teeth in a single visit.

Treating Gum Recession with PST™

Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth and recedes down the root of the tooth structure. The roots are then exposed to the oral environment, which often causes temperature sensitivity while increasing the risk of root surface decay. Receding gums are one of the first signs of periodontal disease and can be triggered by the wrong tooth brushing technique, hormonal fluctuations, or even a misaligned bite. However, periodontal disease is the leading cause of this condition.

PST™ has been deemed a breakthrough procedure for treating gum recession without the need for traditional gum surgery because it is minimally invasive and provides immediate benefits. It was developed by John Chao, D.D.S. and is a patented procedure.

Once the gum tissues recede, they do not grow back. If you are looking for an alternative to traditional gum surgery for gum recession and want to maintain a beautiful smile, schedule your consultation with Dr. Chertok in Berkeley, CA today!
