www.pinholegumr... - Dr. John Chao, inventor of Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ for receding gums shows Pinhole Implant Rejuvenation™, his new technique for correcting gum recession with dental implants. Dr. Chao’s patient Marichel appears with him in this TV news story.
Nearly three million Americans have dental implants, according to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Most of the procedures go well, but sometimes, gum recession occurs as the tissue move away from the implant. Pinhole Implant Rejuvenation™ allows a doctor trained in the technique to move receded gums back into place without cutting, stitching or downtime.
"We can move the gums down to where they should be without any of the cutting or stitching that's required of a normal grafting procedure,” says Dr. Chao.
After removing the crown and the abutment it sits on, Dr. Chao makes pinholes in the gum and loosens tissue, pulling it down over the exposed root. A few strips of collagen follow. "And lo and behold, we have the gums where they need to be in order to attach to the implant," says Dr. Chao.
Dr. Chao says the cost is similar to the cost of conventional gum grafting surgery, but there's less pain, less swelling, and less recovery time. To date, over 2,600 doctors from across the country and around the world have been trained by Dr. Chao in Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™, also known as the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique®. The new technique for dental implant rejuvenation is becoming available as doctors are trained by Dr. Chao. For more information or to find a local doctor call
