DID YOU KNOW

Gum recession can lead to many undesirable health effects, including loose teeth, tooth sensitivity, or tooth loss. Your teeth may also appear unnaturally long. Over time, untreated gum recession can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and other health problems. That is why the holistic dentistry approach at Green Dentistry in San Francisco is so important to your overall health.

Gum Recession FAQ

Gum recession is the loss of gum tissue on the gumline. Gum recession can be caused by:

  • Incorrect brushing technique
  • Hormonal changes
  • Tobacco use
  • Teeth grinding
  • Misaligned bite

When gums recede, a portion of the tooth’s root is exposed, providing a new target for tooth decay and bacteria growth.

The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique is a minimally-invasive gum recession treatment. Traditional gum recession treatments require the use of soft tissue grafts to rebuild the gumline. This soft tissue would be sutured in place and connect with existing gum tissue during healing.

Better results and a better experience can be achieved thanks to the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique.

Some dental insurance plans cover part or all of the cost of your gum recession treatment (also sometimes called the Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation or Lunchtime Gum Lift). The front office staff at Green Dentistry will help you understand your benefits.
