Dentist in Livermore

Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss.

Define Dentistry specializes in treating gum recession with advanced methods, including the patented Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique© (PST). PST is a revolutionary, incision-free, and minimally invasive treatment for gum recession, setting it apart from traditional surgical methods. Our dentist, certified in PST, utilizes this innovative technique to provide patients with effective, less invasive care for receding gums.

Gum recession occurs when the soft tissue along the gumline wears away, exposing the roots of the teeth. Common causes include periodontal disease, aggressive brushing habits, and the natural aging process. When the gums recede, the tooth roots are left vulnerable to decay, both at and below the gumline.
