Understanding Gum Recession: A Common But Serious Concern

Gum recession affects nearly half of adults over 30 in the United States. We see patients with recession caused by:

  • Aggressive tooth brushing
  • Periodontal disease
  • Genetic factors
  • Teeth grinding and clenching
  • Tobacco use
  • Misaligned teeth

 

Left untreated, receding gums can lead to:

  • Increased tooth sensitivity
  • Higher risk of tooth decay and cavities
  • Compromised appearance and self-confidence
  • Eventual tooth loss
  • Impact on overall oral health

 

The Chao Pinhole® Technique: A Modern Alternative to Traditional Gum Grafts

 

Traditional Gum Grafting vs. Pinhole Surgical Technique

Traditional Gum Grafting Chao Pinhole® Technique
Requires donor tissue from roof of mouth No tissue harvesting needed
Multiple incisions and sutures No scalpel, no sutures
Longer recovery period (2-3 weeks) Minimal downtime (24-48 hours)
Treatment of limited areas per session Multiple teeth treated in one visit
Significant post-procedure discomfort Minimal discomfort
Visible results take weeks to develop Immediate cosmetic improvement

 

The Pinhole Procedure: How It Works

When you visit our dental office for the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique, you can expect:

  1. Comfortable Preparation: After ensuring you’re completely numb, our doctor creates a tiny pinhole in the gum tissue above the area of recession.
  2. Gentle Tissue Repositioning: Using specialized instruments, the gum tissue is carefully loosened and guided back into proper position over the exposed tooth roots – all through that tiny access point.
  3. Stabilization: Tiny collagen strips are placed beneath the gums to stabilize the newly positioned tissue and promote healing.
  4. Immediate Results: You’ll see the cosmetic improvement before you leave our office, with the natural gumline restored.
