RESTORING YOUR RECEDING GUMS
Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation®
Pinhole gum rejuvenation is a minimally-invasive procedure performed on receding gums to prevent the exposure of teeth roots.
In this procedure, a pinhole is first created, gums are stretched, the roots are covered, and collagen is inserted to stimulate novel gum tissue growth.
What is Gum Recession?
What is Gum Recession?
Gum recession, also known as gingival recession, is when your gum line sinks, exposing your tooth crown or tooth root. This can be due to:
- Gum disease;
- Tartar build-up along your gum line (this is why a regular scale and polish, and a deep clean is crucial);
- Individual tooth, gum, soft tissue and bone anatomy;
- Deep fillings, onlays, or crowns placed below the gum line;
- A destructive bite which can be mended with orthodontic teeth straightening and orthognathic surgery;
- Forceful tooth brushing and flossing, tongue or lip piercing or poorly fitting dentures, which can affect your gums.
Why Should You Take Gum Recession Seriously?
- Experiencing short and sharp pains, especially when eating or drinking something cold. If left untreated, this may progress and worsen into a long, dull ache;
- Plaque bacteria retention around the affected tooth, which increases your risk of having gum disease, tooth decay, toothache and dental infections;
- Creation of cavities on the roots of your teeth due to their structure being eroded away by abrasive tooth brushing;
- Poor pink (gums) to white (teeth) ratio which sacrifices the aesthetics of your smile;
- Fear of tooth loss as you may notice your gums constantly receding.
Why Should You Take Gum Recession Seriously?
Do I Need Gum Rejuvenation?
- Your teeth appear longer;
- Your gums are getting visibly shorter;
- Sensitive teeth, especially after consuming cold food and drinks or when brushing the teeth.

Benefits of Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation
Non-Invasive Procedure
Due to the nature of the procedure, the use of scalpels or invasive surgical tools is not needed.
Unlike other gum recession treatments where soft tissue from other parts of the mouth is used, the Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation® technique does not use the technique of gum grafting.
Therefore it is suture-free, and no painful or uncomfortable stitches are used. This also means faster recovery after the treatment and minimal downtime.
Natural Looking
This treatment uses collagen production to stimulate novel gum tissue growth, resulting in natural-looking gums.
Long-Lasting Results
If good oral hygiene is practised, and gums are well taken care of, the effects of this gum treatment can last a lifetime.
Risks of Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation
- Generally, the Pinhole Surgical Technique is much faster and safer than traditional gum grafting or soft tissue grafting as there are no incisions and cuts made.
- However, the risk of tenderness, swelling, or infection is still present.
