Our advanced receding gum therapy at Thorpe Lea Dental requires no cutting, no stitches, and virtually no downtime.

Colin Houston, our principal dentist, is a qualified PST provider. With 10 years of experience in this field, he has helped a number of patients improve their gum health with this technique.

The benefits of Dr Chao’s Pinhole Surgical Technique

  • Less discomfort for the patient after treatment
  • Faster recovery than traditional grafting
  • No need for uncomfortable stitches
  • No need for scalpels or invasive surgical tools
  • No need to take donor tissue from the patient’s palate
  • Excellent, natural-looking, long-lasting results

Gum recession can be a serious issue

When gum recession occurs, the root structure of the tooth becomes exposed. This means that tooth decay and other problems can affect the teeth along the gumline and beneath it. Since healthy gums are essential for a healthy mouth, getting gum recession treated is important for lasting dental wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes receding gums?

Receding gums can be caused by several factors, including gum disease, aggressive brushing, genetics, hormonal changes, and smoking. It’s important to address the issue early to prevent further gum loss and tooth sensitivity.

How is receding gum therapy performed?

Receding gum therapy may include deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), gum grafting, or regenerative treatments, depending on the severity. Our team at Thorpe Lea Dental will develop a personalised treatment plan to restore your gums and prevent further recession.

Can receding gums be reversed?

While receding gums cannot be fully reversed, the progression can be halted with proper treatment. Gum grafts and other therapies can help restore lost tissue and protect your teeth from further damage.
