What Is The Pinhole Surgical Technique?

The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique is a breakthrough procedure to eliminate gum recession as a result of gum disease. Gum recession may occur as a result of many factors, including periodontal disease, tobacco use, hormonal changes, genetic susceptibility, insufficient dental care, or overly aggressive brushing. These factors can all cause the gum tissues to recede, exposing more of the tooth structure and tooth root.

Receding gums can lead to gaps or “pockets” forming between the teeth and the gums. Consequently, these pockets make it easy for disease-causing bacteria to accumulate and affect the teeth and gums. Without proper treatment, gum recession can result in severe damage to the tissues and bone. It may even lead to tooth loss. To prevent severe consequences and to keep your smile healthy, our dentists may recommend the Pinhole Surgical Technique.

What Is Revolutionary About The Pinhole Technique?

What makes the Pinhole Surgical Technique a breakthrough procedure is its ability to treat gum recession without scalpels and sutures. A periodontist will create a small hole and use a special tool to loosen the gum tissue so it can pull over the exposed tooth.

The traditional method for correcting gum recession involves cutting the gums and stitching them back up. Because the Pinhole Surgical Technique involves neither, both the procedure and the recovery are far more straightforward and comfortable. The Pinhole Surgical Technique also provides an immediate cosmetic improvement, allowing you to leave the office with a better gum-line!
