Using the Chao pinhole gum rejuvenation treatment for gum recession
Gum recession is common in patients who have developed conditions such as gum disease. The gum tissue begins to shrink due to the infection and can leave the teeth more exposed. This can result in an increased risk of cavities. With the help of a dedicated dental professional at Avanti Dentistry in Tysons, Virginia, you can treat your gum recession and restore your healthy, beautiful smile with special gum rejuvenation treatments such as the Chao pinhole gum recession service.
What is the Chao pinhole surgical technique?
Developed by Dr. John Chao, this gum recession treatment eliminates the need for grafting or stitches. It uses a small access hole in the gum tissue to pull the gums through to reposition it. It can then be positioned over the crown of a tooth to cover the exposed areas. Also known as PST, this gum rejuvenation method allows for results without scalpels or surgery. It has completely revolutionized how patients restore their smiles after periodontal disease or periodontitis and protects their natural teeth from further damage.
What are the advantages of using the Chao pinhole surgical technique to address gum recession?
There are some benefits that make this treatment a reliable and trusted option for many of the patients who visit Avanti Dentistry. The Chao PST:
- Is minimally invasive and doesn’t require any incisions or sutures
- Has a shorter recovery time for patients compared to traditional gum grafting procedures
- Does not involve the use of donor tissue, reducing the risk of complications and infection
- Allows for multiple teeth to be treated in one session, saving time and cost for patients
- Can improve the appearance of the overall smile after gum recession has occurred
