Revive Your Natural Gumline With the Chao Pinhole® Technique
Gum recession is often the result of periodontal disease, as well as other factors such as hard brushing, genetics, or a mouth injury. To replenish your gumline, Dr. Kaeley can perform the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique. Creating a tiny pinhole in your gums enables her to restore your gumline in a minimally invasive and more comfortable way.
With this procedure, you will benefit from:
- Faster Recovery - You'll recover more quickly from a pinhole procedure than from a gum graft. You can return to your normal daily routines within a few days.
- Less Pain and Discomfort - You will experience less discomfort during and after the procedure, due to the minimally invasive technique used.
- No Need for Donor Tissue - Dr. Kaeley won't have to take tissue from another area of your mouth. This eliminates additional surgical sites and complications.
- Immediate Results - You can see immediate improvement in your gumline following the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique. In contrast, it may take time for the gums to heal and settle into their new position following a graft.
- Natural Appearance - Using your own gum tissue to rebuild your gumline yields natural-looking results. You won't have to worry about whether gum donor tissue or tissue from elsewhere in your mouth matches your gumline.

Common Questions About Pinhole Surgery
What is Chao Pinhole® Surgery?
Chao Pinhole® Surgery is a minimally invasive technique used to treat gum recession. Instead of traditional grafting methods, it involves creating a small pinhole in the gum tissue, allowing your periodontist to reposition the gums over the exposed tooth roots. This technique uses your existing gum tissue, eliminating the need for donor tissue from another area. The procedure is designed to be quick and comfortable, with a focus on promoting faster healing.
Is the Chao Pinhole® surgical technique uncomfortable?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. The procedure is performed using local anesthesia, which helps to numb the area and reduce any pain experienced during the treatment. Since it is minimally invasive and does not involve cutting or stitching, many find recovery to be easier than traditional methods. Post-operative pain is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long will the results of pinhole surgery last?
The results of pinhole can be long-lasting, especially when combined with good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups. Many patients enjoy improved gum health and appearances for years following the procedure. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and addressing any underlying dental issues is crucial for long-term success. Dr. Kaeley will work with you to develop a personalized care plan to help sustain the benefits of the surgery.
