COVID-19 Update from Sioux Falls Smiles

To Our Patients,

We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about coronavirus in public places, even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.

It has been a very difficult decision, but we have decided that it is in the best interest of our community, our team, and our patients that we not see patients for the time being.

If you do have a scheduled appointment, we will be reaching out to you directly to get you rescheduled to a future date.

This is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you … and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

As always, if you have any questions, please call our office at 605-250-4651.

Sincerely,

Dr. Valerie Drake
Sioux Falls Smiles

Gum disease, injury, and even genetic factors can all affect the health of your gums, causing them to recede and putting your teeth and bone at risk.

  • Restore your gum health without any scalpels or stitches

Get Your Gums Back in Shape With Comfortable Pinhole Treatment

No matter what reason is behind your receded gums, our skilled team can help. The longer your gum health deteriorates, the more you risk your entire oral health. Left untreated, gum recession can eventually cause your teeth to become loose and even fall out. It’s much better to get gum treatment now and prevent further smile damage later.

Sioux Falls Smiles offers traditional gum grafts for repairing gums. However, the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique gives you an alternative to gum grafting that restores your gum health and allows for much quicker healing. Here’s what we’ll do:

  • Our doctor will make a tiny hole in your gums to access healthy gum tissue.
  • Then, they will manipulate your gum tissue so that it covers more of the crown (the visible part) of your teeth.
  • We’ll fill the area with collagen to help keep the tissue in place and protect your gums while helping new tissue grow.
  • Your gums will look more attractive, and they’ll soon be back to full health.

Don’t risk your valuable smile! Visit our dental practice for gum recession treatment in Sioux Falls. Call Sioux Falls Smiles today at 605-250-4651 to make your appointment, or you can .

Common Questions About Gum Recession Treatment

That depends on your situation. Sometimes gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease, can be reversed by a deep cleaning at our office and having a patient boost their oral hygiene routine at home. However, if such a bacterial infection has turned into full-blown periodontal disease, there could be significant damage to the gums that will need to be addressed. No matter what reason is behind your receded gums, our skilled team can help.

No. As part of our cosmetic dentistry services, we use the innovative Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique. This means that no scalpels or stitches will be involved. If you’re still anxious about being at the dentist’s office or concerned about potential discomfort, you can always ask to receive soothing, safe, and effective dental sedation during your smile-saving procedure.

Pursuing early treatment will save you pain and expense. Beyond that, gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and can often lead to gum recession. To that end, our easy treatment can restore your gum health fast, give you more attractive gums overall, and reduce your tooth sensitivity to hot and cold.
