At Cascadia Dental, we’re committed to offering you advanced dental care technologies.
We’re happy to provide the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, an innovative oral surgery for receding gums in Bellevue, WA.
What Is the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique?
The minimally invasive Chao pinhole surgical technique combines traditional periodontal treatments to reverse gum recession without gum surgery or roof-of-the-mouth gum grafts.
Your doctor makes a tiny pinhole with specialized instruments. This process allows them to loosen gum tissue and reposition it over exposed roots. It also significantly reduces the discomfort and inconvenience of more invasive oral surgeries.
Dr. John Chao invented this extremely gentle procedure. The Chao pinhole surgical technique is ideal if you have multiple receding gums and sensitive teeth as a result of gum recession.
Benefits of Pinhole Gum Surgery
Studies have shown the Chao pinhole procedure is nearly noninvasive. Because it’s so easy on your mouth and gums, you usually recover within 24 to 48 hours.
The technique’s novel instruments and approach lead to long-lasting oral health and a fast return to everyday life.
