Chao Pinhole Technique: Transforming Gum Health
Gum recession can affect the health and appearance of your smile. If left untreated, it exposes the receded part of the tooth, increases sensitivity, and even leads to bone loss. At Worthington Periodontal Specialists, Dr. TJ Miller offers the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, a breakthrough treatment that restores gum tissue without cutting, stitches, or extensive downtime.
With decades of experience, Dr. Miller and our Worthington, OH, team provide trusted, expert care, helping patients achieve healthier gums with advanced, patient-friendly techniques.
What is the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique?
The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique is a revolutionary gum recession treatment developed by Dr. John Chao. Unlike traditional grafting procedures, which require cutting and suturing, this minimally invasive treatment restores gum tissue through small holes created in the existing gum. Special instruments are used to reposition the gums, and collagen strips help stabilize the tissue as it heals.
Key benefits of this treatment include:
- No scalpel, incisions, or suturing
- Minimal bleeding, swelling, or discomfort
- Instant cosmetic results for a healthier-looking smile
- Quick recovery with minimal downtime helps prevent further tooth loss and bone loss
Why Treat Gum Recession?
Gum recession is often caused by periodontal disease, gingivitis, aggressive brushing, or tooth loss. When gum tissue pulls away, it exposes more of the tooth, making it vulnerable to sensitivity, decay, and structural damage. In severe cases, receding gums can compromise dental implants and natural teeth, leading to further complications.
By choosing pinhole gum rejuvenation, you can protect your oral health while enhancing the appearance of your smile.
How Does the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique Work?
Dr. Miller applies a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Once you are numb, a tiny hole is made in the gum tissue using a special instrument. The gum tissue is gently loosened and guided over the receded part of the tooth.
We place collagen strips to help secure the gums in their new position, allowing them to heal naturally without sutures. Patients see an immediate improvement in their gum line with a natural, healthy look. This breakthrough treatment restores gum coverage in a single visit with little to no downtime, making it an ideal solution for patients looking for a fast and effective alternative to traditional gum recession treatment.
