The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™, is a new minimally invasive option for treating receding gums without the pain and recovery time required with gum grafting surgery. Dr. Vora is among the first group of periodontists to be trained in the new technique, invented and patented by Los Angeles dentist Dr. John Chao. The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™, also known as Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ has been covered in numerous television news stories and newspaper articles across the country and will soon be featured on national television.
Traditional dentures have many disadvantages including slippage, bone loss and inability to eat certain foods. The modern replacement option for multiple teeth is implant secured dentures. Now with TeethXPressâ„¢, you will walk out with new teeth on the day of your procedure.
Although dentures secured by implants have been successful for over 20 years, Dr. Vora is at the forefront of the movement in Texas to provide same day teeth with TeethXpress.
In Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT) there is no cutting away of the gums or bone as in traditional treatment. The Waterlase iPlus™ laser uses a unique combination of laser energy and water to provide gentler, more precise treatment that conserves healthy tissue and minimizes pain and discomfort.
Injections of Anesthesia
In the past, injections of dental anesthesia by others may have been uncomfortable. We recognize this and take extra care when preparing a patient for anesthetic. We use a topical anesthetic on your gums first to desensitize them and then administer the injection very slowly and precisely to reduce the burning sensation that can be experienced. These techniques ensure our patients have minimal, if any, discomfort during this portion of care.
Sedation
For those patients who would feel more comfortable with sedation, we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedatives to help you relax during your treatment.
Your comfort is one of our primary concerns. If you have any questions about anesthesia or sedation, please do not hesitate to discuss these with us.
