Harrisonburg and Winchester, VA periodontist Dr. Steven Saunders now offers The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™, an innovative new gum recession treatment alternative. Dr. Saunders belongs to a select group of dental professionals who have fulfilled the training requisites necessary to perform The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™, a patented procedure created by Los Angeles dentist Dr. John Chao.
Gum recession occurs when the tissue surrounding the teeth begins to erode, exposing more of the tooth or root. This often results in a “long tooth” appearance or “gummy” smile. Dentists and periodontists can sometimes repair mildly receding gums through tooth scaling and root planing, but moderate and advanced cases can usually only be resolved through gum grafting surgery.
The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™, also referred to as Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™, does not require any cutting or suturing, so Dr. Saunders’s patients with receding gums can look forward to a much more comfortable experience with minimal pain, bleeding, or swelling. When performing Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™, Dr. Saunders makes a tiny pinhole in the gums, then loosens the gum tissue and gently glides it over the receding areas using patented tools. Depending on the number of teeth being treated, Dr. Saunders can complete the entire treatment in 20 minutes to an hour. Most patients notice a marked cosmetic improvement immediately following the procedure.
