Traditional gum grafting used to be the only way, but not anymore. Dr. Kiran Haseeb offers cutting-edge techniques to reverse gum recession. First off, let’s talk about how we choose your fix. Dr. Kiran Haseeb doesn’t just pick a random option. She needs to check everything out—your specific needs, how thick the remaining gum tissue actually is, and what your underlying bone structure looks like. She meticulously selects the absolute best method because there’s no one-size-fits-all here.

Non-Surgical Treatment: Stopping the Cause First

The thing is, surgery might not even be the initial move. If you have a very mild case, or if the recession is mainly being pushed by active gum disease, we might start with the basics. That involves a professional Deep Cleaning (you might hear us call it scaling and root planing). It’s crucial because we meticulously remove all that bacteria and tartar hiding deep under the gum line. This cleaning often stops the progression dead in its tracks, allowing your gums to get healthier and prevent further recession. Dr. Kiran Haseeb will always tell you upfront if this foundational treatment is enough for your case before we even think about surgery.

Surgical Solutions: Restoring Lost Tissue

Look, for serious cases, surgery is definitely required if we want to truly restore the lost tissue, and Dr. Kiran Haseeb excels in these advanced procedures.

The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST): The Scarless Fix

This is truly the future! The Pinhole Technique is a revolutionary, scalpel-free way to fix gum recession. It’s incredibly clever and non-invasive. What happens? Dr. Kiran Haseeb just creates a tiny pinhole—yes, literally a minuscule opening—in the gum tissue. Then, using specialized tools, she gently slides your existing gum tissue down over the exposed root where it belongs. The huge, huge benefit? The great thing about Pinhole is the recovery; you have no cutting, no stitches, and because of that, your healing time is dramatically faster. This technique demands specialized certification and skill, which is exactly what Dr. Kiran Haseeb brings to the table every procedure.

Traditional Gum Grafting Surgery: The Durable Barrier

Now, we understand that Pinhole isn’t always the right choice. If your recession is severe, or if the gum tissue left behind is just too thin or weak to stretch naturally, a traditional graft is still the most necessary, reliable approach. This surgery involves Dr. Kiran Haseeb carefully takes a small piece of healthy tissue (sometimes from the roof of your mouth, or we can use high-quality donor tissue) and stitches it meticulously right over the exposed area to cover that vulnerable root. This method is fantastic because it provides a durable, thick barrier that fully protects your tooth for the long term. You can absolutely trust Dr. Kiran Haseeb’s expertise here; she uses the most precise suturing techniques to ensure you get the best possible healing and an excellent, aesthetic outcome.
