A gum graft is the traditional treatment to repair receding gums. At North Oaks Dental you also have the option of a Chao Pinhole procedure (please note that Dr. Daboul is the only doctor in our practice certified to perform this technique), a faster and less complicated treatment.

Unlike a gum graft, the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique® involves no cutting or stitches. It can usually be completed in about an hour, which is why it’s sometimes called a lunchtime gum lift. Without an incision, your recovery time is quicker too!

To find out if you’re a good candidate for a Chao Pinhole procedure, take our quiz. No matter what your results, our dentists are happy to provide more information and help you determine if it’s the right treatment for you. Call North Oaks Dental at 248-712-1522 to schedule an appointment.
