Gum recession is very evident in many adults. In the past as dentists, we use to look at gum recession and tell you, Stop brushing so hard. Most gum recession is not caused from over brushing, it’s usually caused from a malocclusion. The way your teeth come together, when they’re angled and they hit on a certain angle, your gums start to recede. In past we just kinda watched it because it wasn’t a good procedure to fix it. We used to have to take the tissue from the palate of your mouth and cut your gum, and put a whole bunch of stitches. Now we have a technique invented by Dr. Chao in California, it’s called Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation. I’m one of 10 to 15 Dentists in Michigan who can do it. It’s a wonderful Pinhole Procedure where there’s no scalpel, no stitches, very minimal healing and within one appointment you get your gums back to where they should be.
Get an Incision-Free Treatment to Restore Receding Gums
While a gum graft has been the usual method for repairing receding gums, an innovative procedure called the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique offers numerous advantages over a graft. It is:
- Minimally Invasive – A gum graft involves removing soft tissue from elsewhere in your mouth or using donor tissue and stitching it in place. With the Pinhole® technique, your dentist uses only your existing gum tissue.
- Quicker – It takes at least an hour to perform a gum graft involving only a few teeth. In the same amount of time, Dr. Daboul can treat your entire gumline.
- More Comfortable – No scalpel, sutures, or stitches are necessary for this gingival recession treatment. Your dentist makes a tiny pinhole in your gums, then gently manipulates your tissue to cover your tooth roots.
- Easier to Recover From – Since there is no cutting or stitching, your recovery will be fast and painless. You won’t need to change your diet or oral hygiene.
We will expertly numb your mouth with local anesthesia. We can schedule a longer appointment for you if you’re more comfortable taking the procedure at a slower pace. You can also get dental sedation to keep you relaxed throughout your treatment.
