According to someone who commented here. They had both and the pinhole technique was compared to HADES!!! HELL FIRE!!!! TORTURE!!!!

Holy shit! Thanks for posting.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I was hesitating, but now i can go and do gum grafting with confidence 😊

Did it or did it not cover more of your teeth though?

GOOD GOD!!! Thank you for this feedback.

Hello can you please help me. I’m interested in getting the gum grafting done on my receding gums. I have 2 questions. Did the procedure actually cover your exposed teeth and how much was it? Pls help

Really great questions! We recommend you ask your provider what their desired order of operations is for veneers and Pinhole. Each clinician is different and each patient is unique, so what works for one person may not be what they recommend for the next. We're happy to see you if you are in the area 860.443.2428.

Your health is worth more than $7k. I just had my first side yesterday. And I already feel better.

@@trn8061 hi I actually decided to do this procedure. My whole mouth feels amazing. I did it back in January and I can only say it was the best investment ever. Now the first two weeks after the lanap was crazy but got better and today amazing

Hi Erike, we're sorry to hear your experience with LANAP at your dentist's office wasn't up to your expectations. If you would like a second opinion from our team, we're always happy to see you in the office and make some recommendations. Feel free to give us a call 860.443.2428.

I have just had my deep clean 5 days ago and one of my pockets was 11, needless to say, that tooth is a little wobbly and the pain is killing me. I too don't understand why some say it's not so painful. I hurt during the procedure, which was done in two consecutive days, and am still in pain now. Am going back to the dentist in a month to see if I am healing. In the meantime, am brushing, flossing and oil pulls.

I just did my laser treatment today and everything you saying yes i had to get numbed on my left side over 8times and i still felt it go all the way down to the bottom of my jaw. My tooth actually was feeling hot while using the laser. My wisdom teeth i felt every zap to my jaw bone. I been goimg back and forth to the dentist for so long i told him just do my lower left and right quadrants and im laying here hungry and cant eat until another hour but at this point im in so much pain i dont wanna eat

I'm 30 and just got my all back quadrants done except my left bottom. I was under 5 for each pocket except one 7. It's only been an hour since the procedure, but everything seems decently pain free. Sore for sure, but not enough for me to want anything more than a Tylenol and a nap 😅

If you are experiencing pain, you should call your periodontist and ask them if you need to be seen sooner. They can provide guidance for your recovery.

@@shorelineperiodontics thanks for your reply 🙏 could you please provide me an emergency list of what should I EXACTLY do at this time? Is bleeding a bad sign? Does my gum graft going to fail?

@@kimyasiavashani5827 without seeing you in our office, we can't provide clinical recommendations. If you feel like your healing isn't in line with what your dentist provided, we highly encourage you to reach out to your dental team directly and ask for their guidance. We're always happy to provide an in-person second opinion, feel free to reach out if that is something you're interested in. We hope you continue to heal up!

How you doing now?

@@HelderP1337 well much better...I've completely healed up and now I can live a normal life😂 I can eat,talk and smile BUT I should be careful with laughing

As there are no studies to back this information, we recommend you continue to visit your dentist and have at least 2 dental cleanings a year to take care of plaque buildup and ensure you continue to have good oral health.

Hi there! We are not sure who in Jersey Shore is certified to perform Pinhole, but you can search on the Pinhole website pinholesurgicaltechnique.com/

Chao Pinhole can only be performed by a licensed and Chao Pinhole-certified professional. We're happy to see if you're a candidate if you're in the CT / RI region. Please reach out to us at 860.443.2428.

LANAP has a success rate of about 88%.

Where you do this treatment?

Ufff😖 puede denunciar por negligencia médica.

I just got my lanap surgery done two weeks ago. I also do notice a little bit of gum loss and gaps between my teeth, but I think so far that the surgery was well worth it. My smile looks better, and I just need to keep up with good oral hygiene habits because I didn't have the best. Thank God, I still have all my teeth, and I gave up smoking cigarettes! The surgery cost about 4000, but thanks to great insurance through my job, they paid 100% so I'm very grateful and thankful for this procedure.

I'm sorry to hear you are facing a tough decision in regard to your oral health. We encourage saving teeth whenever possible but understand that every patient's situation is as unique as they are. Hence, it's hard to provide any insight without seeing you as a patient. We can offer to see you for a second opinion. If you would like to be seen by one of our doctors, give our office a call at 860.443.2428.

We're very sorry to hear your healing did not go as planned. We highly recommend you see the doctor who performed the gum graft to discuss your options. We are also happy to take a look, feel free to reach out to us 860.443.2428.

Everyone is going to have a unique healing period, so it's best to let both your Periodontist and Orthodontist know what your goals are. They can even work together to create a personalized treatment plan for you. Feel free to reach out to us if you would like to work with our collaborative team 860.443.2428.

@@shorelineperiodontics thank you, but I live in another country

It really depends on your treatment plan. It's best to follow the plan that your periodontist provides. Typically we work directly with the orthodontist and create a treatment plan together to time up when braces can be put on.

Hi Amanda! While we do offer a few different sedation options including IV and oral sedation, we don't require it for this procedure. Many patients actually opt to not be sedated for LANAP since there are no incisions needed, but it is always left up to the patient to decide their level of comfort with their chosen treatment. If you're looking for a consultation, you're welcome to call our team at 860.443.2428. Stay well!

Good luck! Please update us when it's done.

Hey dianna, good luck!! Please keep us posted as I am also interested in this procedure 🙌🏼

Update us please and thank you

So how did it go? Are the results what you expected?

Yes pls update.

Hi Evelyn! The cost of the procedure depends on the extent of treatment needed. It's best to see a Periodontist who is certified in LANAP to find out what your treatment options are. If you would like to make an appointment with one of our LANAP certified periodontists, you can give us a call at either 860.443.2428 for our New London and Westerly offices or 860.346.9665 for our Middletown office.

AKA...its priced more than it should be. It's not a cosmetic treatmet option, its a health procedure to help your teeth! The amount of money these people charge for these "health wellness" procedures is beyond ridiculous/

​@shorelineperiodontics lower the price!! This laser is for our health!!!

Hi Tasha, the best person to ask these questions to is the professional who is performing the procedure. In our experience, there is no discomfort during the procedure and minimal healing time afterwards. Our patients often return to work the following day, but again, every patient is different and you need to ask your dental professional what their recommendations are for your post-op healing and restrictions.

@@shorelineperiodontics Thank you I had it done as you said it was painless

@@teeciewalk That's fantastic!! Stay well, keep healing up and let us know if you need anything!

@@shorelineperiodontics Thank you 🙏🏾

It is painful AF. If you want to make lots of teeth prepare for multiple injections which is a terrible experience and after that prepare to feel burning sensations because gums can never be fully numbed. The smoke and smell is horrible and the burning and pain after numbness wears off is bad. Whoever claims this is not painful is lying.

good so long as you stop the activity that is destroying the gums in the first place

I paid 6500€ for pinhole surgery and lost all my money and have a worse situation than before. I didn't find many comments on CZcams maybe they get deleted. But i searched the Internet and found a thread where many people write they lost thousands of dollars or euros and for nothing. They all regret it. I only found two comments from ppl who said it has slightly improved but hundrets who regret it. I shouldn't have done it, it's one of the biggest regrets of my life and i cry everyday because it's so much worse than before. The dentist said it's a bad result but didn't really care. The surgery itself was very brutal and painful torture. I also found comments from professionals on the Internet who warn people, one doctor had it done on himself and ist warning people not to do it. My Front lower teeth got lose from the surgery and i found a comment from another person who wrote the same. The pinhole dentist said they might have been lose before but my main dentist doesn't believe it. No matter how much you wish to find Help: Stay away from this surgery!

The activity destroying my gums in my case is going to the dentist

@@dhidhi1000that sounds like a YOU problem lol

No 😢

Hi Brigitte! It would be hard to give an answer on if you're a candidate for laser treatment without first seeing you in the office. If you'd like, you can give us a call to schedule a consultation at 860.443.2428.

No, those pockets are fine as long as you're getting your cleaning twice a year and you first floss then use water pik then brush then use mouthwash you'll be just fine

Hi Mr. Sengola. LANAP is a procedure we only perform in the office. It's a fairly quick procedure. We are happy to set up a consultation if you would like! Give our team a call at 860.443.2428.

We're sorry to hear that. Hopefully, you can take some time to focus on your health soon and have those crowns checked out. We're here if you need to make an appointment, stay well! 860.443.2428

Hello! We aren't very familiar with any particular dental professionals in Australia, but certainly, someone local to Australia can guide you in the right direction! We recommend you ask a local dentist or your regional dental association.

I'm in Australia too, I would be interested.

Yes Google Dr Hugh Flemming Mossman dental. He the best and one of the cheapest in Australia. His team are excellent.

Hi, Mr. Khan! We can certainly help. Give us a call at 860.443.2428

We're so glad that your procedure turned out to be minimal in pain and is healing well! Thank you for sharing your experience with having the LANAP procedure with our team! Stay well, Ryan!

Hi Ryan did you do all your teeth? How much did it cost may I ask. Thanks for reply.

@@sjc3426 any update

@@sjc3426 It's about 2000 dollars for each quadrant. I had a full mouth done yesterday. The shots were the worst part. I lost count of how many shots it required. I'm in a little discomfort but not any real pain. Looking forward to the results. I go back in a week. Best wishes to all.

@@biglex3300 Thanks for your reply Lex. Two thousand per quadrant... WOW, that's a lot of money. Its a coincident I also had deep tooth cleaning yesterday, but not the LANAP treatment. I did a lot of research in my part of the country and there are not lot of dentist who offer LANAP. I finally gave up on the idea and settled for deep cleaning with a Periodontist. I asked her if she was aware of LANAP treatment and what she thought about it. She knew of it but her feedback was not encouraging to me. I have a very hard time dealing with dentist I can trust, as their expertise, fees, opinion about treatments can vary so much. Good luck Lex and all the very best to you also.

Hi there! We're located in Southeastern CT and we also have an office in RI.

Lifetime Dental in Lake Forrest California.. Dr . Chang can see if youre good candidate..

Dr. Chao who innovate this technique is in Cali. LA county I believe.

​@@penaltybox9097 *"A good candidate"? Bitch, he's not applying for a job or trying to join a race. This has to do with HEALTH not whether you're enough of a "good candidate" when it comes to health or not. Fuck off.*

Hi Tom! We're actually located in Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Do you guys think I need a cleaning and then take care of the gingivitis?

I also have a back wisdom tooth that broke in half and the other piece is hanging. I want to get my all of wisdom tooth extracted should I do this even if I have gingivitis?

Hi Julia, we recommend you be seen for a consultation. We can help you create a plan to address all of these needs. Feel free to give us a call at 860.443.2428. We look forward to talking to you!

@@shorelineperiodontics thank you so much for replying back to me. I’m actually in the North Carolina area would you guys still be able to help me even if I’m in another state? or would you guys happen to have a great referral.

@@juliachantel28 If you wanted to come up to CT we could. If you want to pursue treatment down there in NC, we would recommend finding a periodontist down there. They can help you understand more about your gingivitis and ensure you receive the proper treatment off the bat. Not sure where you are in NC but Dr. McDonugh is a talented periodontist who may be able to help you. www.carolinaimplantcenter.com/

Hi Rano, I'm not sure of any specific periodontists in the Toronto area that does this, but you could try Dr. Peter Fritz or perhaps ask their team for a recommendation. If you're ever down near us in the USA, we would also be happy to set something up to talk about this procedure with you! 860.443.2428. Stay well!

​@@janinahendrych9065is this true?

There are many reputable periodontists in Illinois. One of the offices we know does exceptional work is Drs. Mandelaris and Dr. DeGroot in the Chicago area. www.periodontalmedicine.org

You never heard of Google?

@@bigmacdaddy1234 Have a Fantastic Day!

Thank you for responding to the video! There has been extensive research on LANAP and other laser procedures as one treatment option for gum and periodontal disease. You can check out some of the published research at the link below. scholar.google.com/scholar?q=LANAP+research&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart There are also published articles of research completed on other types of laser treatment. The most recent one was published in the Journal of Periodontology and the American Academy of Periodontology that our very own Dr. Gregory A. Toback took part in. aap.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/JPER.20-0028 Lasers are an incredibly effective solution for periodontal disease treatment and the best part is these treatment options typically don't require cutting or stitching up the gums like traditional periodontal treatment! Feel free to read through it and reach out if you have any questions at all! We're always happy to help in any way we can! 860.443.2428
