Rancho Mirage Periodontist Shows Dental Implants Designed With New Technology
Dr. Ellie Keheirkhahi-Love shows desert area residents how the latest technology is used in her periodontal practice to plan extremely precise placement of dental implants for the best possible fit and longevity. Using "cone beam" CT imagery and 3-D renderings, the placement of dental implants is customized prior to surgery. Dr. Love then shares the files and the treatment plan with the patient’s implant doctor.
"Using new technology we can perform specialized procedures with a degree of precision and predictability that was unattainable just five years ago," says Dr. Love. "Most of our patients experience less discomfort and enjoy a more efficient, streamlined treatment process.” This video shows the story on KMIR 6 News. Visit www.drellielove.com or call 760.836.1809.

New Pinhole Treatment For Gum Recession To Be Shown By Dr. Ellie Love On KMIR 6 News
Rancho Mirage - Advanced Periodontics Implant Center is treating receding gums without scalpels or stitches with Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation®, says Dr. Ellie Kherikhahi-Love. The story airs Wednesday, August 20 on KMIR 6 News at 5:00 p.m and 11:00 p.m.
“Patients in the desert now have an alternative to conventional gum grafting called Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ which can be an appropriate option for many patients for treatment of receding gums,” says periodontist Dr. Ellie Kheirkhahi-Love. She is the first doctor in the desert to be certified in the minimally invasive treatment also known as the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique®. To date, just 650 dentists in the entire world have been trained in the technique, which has been shown to have similar results to conventional gum grafting.
"Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ provides an attractive option for certain patients to have gum recession corrected through tiny pinholes made in the gums rather than undergoing more invasive gum grafting surgery," says Dr. Love. The treatment is performed using specially designed dental instruments, and takes just minutes per tooth. The pinholes heal quickly and are usually undetectable within a day or two after treatment. Most patients will experience little or no downtime. Call 760-836-1809 or visit www.drellielove.com

Dr. Ellie Kheirkhahi-Love Brings Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation For Receding Gums To Rancho Mirage
“Patients with receding gums in Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and the entire Coachella Valley may have a new alternative to gum grafting with Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™," says periodontist Dr. Ellie Kheirkhahi-Love, the first doctor in the Coachella Valley to be certified in the new technique.
"The Pinhole technique offers a minimally invasive alternative to conventional gum grafting which may encourage patients to accept needed treatment for gum recession,” says Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love. “While conventional gum grafting surgery remains the best option for certain patients, the Pinhole technique offers a new way to correct gum recession without the need to cut and transfer a section of tissue from the roof of the mouth to the affected areas of the gums. Instead, one or more tiny pinholes are made in the gum near the tooth or teeth to be treated.” Specially designed dental instruments are inserted into the pinholes and moved to guide the gums back to a more healthy position. The treatment takes about 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of teeth treated. When completed the pinholes quickly heal and are often undetectable the next day, with little to no downtime needed for healing. “Some patients may experience mild swelling, which dissipates in a few days. With Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ patients can see results immediately after their treatment is completed.”
A 33-month study of 43 patients with 121 gum recessions using the Pinhole Surgical Technique was published in the October 2012 issue of The International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry. The results of this study were as successful as the standard gum grafting procedure which requires cutting and sutures, while patients who underwent the Pinhole Surgical Technique reported virtually no pain, no bleeding and high satisfaction with the almost instant transformation of the defective gum line. (Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent 2012; 32: 521-531.)
