Understanding the Causes of Gum Recession

Gum recession can develop slowly over time. It is often caused by gum disease, poor brushing habits, or clenching and grinding. Recognizing early symptoms such as sensitivity or visible root surfaces allows for timely intervention that prevents further damage and supports the longevity of your smile.

The Importance of Treating Recession Early

When gums recede, the roots of the teeth become vulnerable to decay, sensitivity, and structural damage. Addressing recession early prevents long term complications and helps maintain gum strength and stability. At our practice, early detection and preventive care are key to preserving both oral and systemic health.

The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique

The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique is a gentle and modern alternative to traditional gum grafting. This procedure requires no incisions, scalpels, or sutures. A small pinhole is made in the gum tissue, and special instruments are used to gently loosen and reposition the gums over the exposed roots, restoring natural coverage with minimal recovery time.

How the Chao Pinhole Technique Differs from Grafting

Traditional gum grafting involves removing donor tissue from the palate and suturing it to the affected area. The Chao technique eliminates this need, offering faster recovery and greater comfort. Patients experience less inflammation and immediate cosmetic improvement without invasive surgery.

Is Gum Recession Treatment Right for You

If you notice tooth sensitivity, longer looking teeth, or visible root surfaces, gum recession treatment can help. The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique is ideal for patients seeking a safe, natural, and comfortable solution that delivers long lasting, healthy results.
