Stop Gum Recession & Restore Your Healthy Smile

A smile is only as attractive as it is healthy. So when you come in for help with gum recession, our first goal is to ensure your gums are healthy. Dr. Crawford will do a thorough exam to determine the cause for your receding gums. Since gum disease is one of the primary reasons for this condition, it’s important to treat underlying oral health issues first.

Once your gums are in good health, you will be ready to move forward with treatment. We offer two types of recession treatment. One is a procedure called the Chao Pinhole™ technique and the other is gum grafting. Working together, you will determine which procedure is right for you. The Chao Pinhole technique is often a great option for less severe cases. It offers many benefits:

Minimally Invasive – Dr. Crawford makes a pinhole-sized opening in your gums. He then gently moves your gum tissue without using incisions or stitching.
Natural Appearance – This procedure doesn’t use donor gum tissue like a grafting treatment. It simply repositions your own gumline. It looks and feels natural.
Fast Recovery – Since it’s minimally invasive, your healing time is much faster. You’ll be able to enjoy your usual diet in a matter of hours!
Long-Lasting Results – The results from this treatment will last for years with healthy oral care habits.

While this is a painless technique, Dr. Crawford understands if you are nervous. That’s why he takes time to make sure you understand the need for treatment. At our practice, we treat you as a partner in your care, not just a patient. Our motto is “Inform Before We Perform.” He’ll address all of your concerns throughout your appointment. You can also relax with cozy amenities, such as our heated massage chairs, TVs, and headphones. Sedation is also available.

An Experience Patients Trust

Donna W.

Dr. Crawford provided exceptional and compassionate service by helping me fix my left front tooth, which is an implant that fell out. Dr. Crawford came to the office during a holiday weekend to bring healing. They were warm, kind, and I felt as if I were a family member. I definitely recommend Dr. Crawford's office to anyone looking for a highly skilled and empathetic specialty dentist.

Charles A.

I've been a patient with Dr. Crawford for nearly 25 years. He and his staff are very up to date on new procedures, very friendly, efficient, easy to work with if you need to rearrange appointments and helpful dealing with insurance. I think you would have a hard time finding another office with more knowledge and experience to handle your periodontal issues.

Dr. Crawford and his staff are wonderful. They are friendly, competent, and compassionate. They make you feel comfortable and relaxed. They have taken care of my teeth for decades. I seriously doubt I would still have my own teeth if it were not for their care. And I am 80 years old! I recommend Dr. Crawford without hesitation.
