Understanding Gum Recession: A Common But Serious Concern

Gum recession affects nearly half of adults over 30 in the United States. In Hackensack and throughout Bergen County, we see patients with recession caused by:

  • Aggressive tooth brushing
  • Periodontal disease
  • Genetic factors
  • Teeth grinding and clenching
  • Tobacco use
  • Misaligned teeth

Left untreated, receding gums can lead to:

  • Increased tooth sensitivity
  • Higher risk of tooth decay and cavities
  • Compromised appearance and self-confidence
  • Eventual tooth loss
  • Impact on overall oral health

The Pinhole Procedure: How It Works

When you visit our Hackensack dental office for the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique, you can expect:

  1. Comfortable Preparation: After ensuring you’re completely numb, our doctor creates a tiny pinhole in the gum tissue above the area of recession.
  2. Gentle Tissue Repositioning: Using specialized instruments, the gum tissue is carefully loosened and guided back into proper position over the exposed tooth roots – all through that tiny access point.
  3. Stabilization: Tiny collagen strips are placed beneath the gums to stabilize the newly positioned tissue and promote healing.
  4. Immediate Results: You’ll see the cosmetic improvement before you leave our office, with the natural gumline restored.
