Today there is a much more effective and less intrusive solution to the common problem of gum recession. The pinhole surgical technique or gingival rejuvenation is a patented, state-of-the-art technique invented by Dr. John Chao to resolve gum recession with much less trauma and with a far broader application. This revolutionary appliance is used to develop dental arches in children, teenagers and adults.
Historically, dental arch development in adults was difficult because arch development appliances required 24/7 wear to be effective. With the DNA appliance, a patient can achieve outstanding results wearing the appliance only 12-17 hours per day. Our exciting newer orthodontic technology allows us to move teeth comfortably, safely and efficiently in weeks, rather than years.
Dr. Brad is great. My daughter has had many cavities when she was little and was traumatized by that experience. We have had to change dentists a few times and finally decided on Dr. Brad. I let him know about her anxiety and he put her right at ease.

That depends on how much arch development is needed and how diligent the patient is wearing the appliance as prescribed but most patients fall into the 6-12 month timeframe.
It will not damage the teeth and absolutely will not move them off the dental arch.
We are NOT MOVING TEETH at all, we are developing bone.
As the bone develops the teeth will naturally go along for the ride because they are imbedded in bone but the appliance is not moving teeth it is enlarging the dental arch.
We typically see our arch development patients every six weeks for a quick five-minute visit.

Crowns have been used to restore teeth since 700 B.C.; fortunately, since those early days of crown making the techniques and materials have vastly improved.
Interestingly enough, those earliest crowns were made from gold, a material we commonly used to fabricate crowns up until only recently.
Today we are witnessing a transformation from gold and gold based crowns to more aesthetic zirconia and lithium disilicate crowns.
When does a tooth need a crown?
This is an extremely common question that can best be explained by thinking in terms of how much tooth structure does the dentist have to work with.
