Learn about Dr. Chao’s Quick-Healing Pinhole® Surgical Technique
It is crucial to address gum recession early, as gums protect and support the roots of your teeth. A receding gum line affects your smile by making you look “long in the teeth”, and it can also expose the roots of your teeth, causing extreme sensitivity to cold, heat, and foods containing high amounts of sugar.
Dr. Tredinick is proud to offer the Dr. Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique to those looking for a solution with quick recovery time. It is a minimally invasive, advanced treatment Dr. Tredinick can use to correct your gum recession without the use of scalpels. This allows for a quick, painless treatment that heals in a day.
Instant Cosmetic Improvement with Gum Recession Surgery
The Pinhole® Surgical Technique is a gum recession surgery that has been thoroughly tested since its development and has been shown to produce lasting, stable results. Lucky for you, Dr. Tredinick is one of the few periodontists licensed and trained to perform the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique.
Benefits of the Pinhole® Surgical Technique:
- No cutting or invasive surgical instruments
- Minimal discomfort
- No sutures
- No grafting (healthy gum tissue will not be removed)
- Quicker procedure time (depending on the number of teeth being treated it will last only one or two hours)
- Significantly faster recovery time
- A natural looking smile with long-lasting results
Schedule an Outpatient Gum Recession Surgery That Heals in a Day
During the Chao Pinhole® gum surgery, Dr. Tredinick will make tiny, pinhole-sized entry points in your gum tissue. Through these pinholes, the doctor will free the outer layer of gum tissue and reposition it over your teeth by using specially designed instruments.
Afterward, to help stabilize the pinholes and quicken the healing process, Dr. Tredinick will place a collagen healing strip over the gums. Because only minuscule pinholes were made during the procedure and gum tissue heals quickly, no dental sutures are required, and the gums heal within a day.
