Restore Your Gum Line With Less Downtime & Discomfort

The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique corrects your gum line without the pain of cutting & suturing.

The Minimally Invasive Gum Recession Treatment

Gum recession is most often the result of periodontal disease, though there are many other contributing factors, such as aggressive brushing, smoking, orthodontic treatment, and a misaligned bite. In some cases, gum recession may be so advanced that you are able to see a distinct color difference between the enamel and root surfaces. To restore your smile without scalpels or sutures, schedule a consultation for the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST™) with Dr. Elly Tehrani.

what is the chao pinhole® surgical technique?

Unlike gum grafting surgery, the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique utilizes the healthy gum tissue that exists at the site of your gum recession. Dr. Tehrani can create a small opening near the tooth that needs receding gums treatment, and use a special tool to loosen the connective tissue that holds your gums in place. She can then reposition the tissue until the exposed tooth root is covered. A bit of collagen is placed at the treatment site to maintain the new position of your gum line while the tissue reattaches. This receding gum treatment can be performed in a single session, restoring healthy gum lines to a single tooth or multiple teeth with little to no downtime.

With gum grafting surgery, donor tissue is collected from the palate and then transferred to the site of your gum recession. This process requires two surgical sites, at minimum, and will limit the amount of teeth that may be treated in one visit. This is not the case with the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique, which does not require gum graft donor sites or sutures.

Addressing gum recession is critical, as its progression can eventually contribute to bone and tooth loss. In fact, gum grafting procedures can alleviate numerous aesthetic and functional concerns, such as:

Enhance the appearance of your smile
Reduce tooth sensitivity and gum inflammation
Restore the protective barrier that your gums provide for your teeth
