Gum recession occurs when gum tissue recedes and exposes the roots of the teeth. It has a variety of causes including gingivitis, poor dental care habits, and aggressive brushing. The Chao Pinhole® Technique was designed to correct this issue and restore your smile. While this procedure is commonly associated with cosmetic dentistry, it has a variety of health benefits because it covers and protects tooth roots. The following guide provides an overview of this innovative treatment option.

How Does the Chao Pinhole Technique Work?

The Chao Pinhole Technique is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat gum recession. Instead of relying on scalpels and sutures, cosmetic dentistry practitioners use a needle to make a small hole in the existing gum tissue. They then use specially designed instruments to loosen the tissue gently and reposition it to cover the exposed tooth roots.

What Are the Benefits of This Procedure?

Since this technique is noninvasive, it’s also less painful for the patient and requires a shorter recovery period. Best of all, you will see an instant improvement in your smile.

How Long Do the Results Last?

This cosmetic dentistry procedure is intended to produce permanent results; however, the gum tissue requires proper care and maintenance to keep it healthy. The normal aging process can cause gum recession, even after the procedure, making periodontic care essential.
