Your gums are supposed to cover the roots of your teeth. And when you smile, people should be able to see a little bit of your gums. When your gums start to recede, however, bigger problems could be ahead if you don’t take steps to repair the damage. Using the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique, Dr. LoCascio has saved the gums of many area patients.
Dr. LoCascio was the first Michigan general dentist to be trained in the Chao technique. With this innovative gum recession surgery in Highland, he can:
If your gums are receding, call Highland Advanced Dental Care today for an oral surgery consultation: 248-329-3552. Our office is located at 2950 East Highland Road, not far from Duck Lake Pines Park.
With the Chao gum recession procedure, Dr. LoCascio makes a pinhole in your receding gums, then gently moves the gum tissue around to cover the parts of the tooth where the gums have receded.
The pinhole technique is:
Besides surgery, there are several other ways we can help with gum recession. During your routine checkups, we can teach you the difference between healthy brushing and flossing and the aggressive kind that can damage your gums. One thing to remember is to always use a soft-bristled brush.
If you’re experiencing the early stages of gum disease, we can use a technique called scaling and root planing to remove harmful bacteria at and below the gumline, giving your gums a chance to heal.
If your gums look like they are receding, call us at 248-329-3552 to see if you need gum recession surgery in Highland. You can also request an appointment online.

Today was my first visit with the new team at Highland Advanced Dental. I found them to be thorough, explaining everything to me. I am very comfortable going back there for future dental needs.
Bonnie is my dental hygienist, she is always great to see!! She is welcoming, friendly, gentle and calm. Everyone in the office is so fun and always friendly. Dr. LoCascio has been my dentist for probably 20 years, I wouldn’t go to anyone else!
As usual, I was completely satisfied with my appointment and consultation. Great staff and Dr. LoCascio is the BEST!!
I’ve been going to this office for 40 years and everything is always good. They have taken good care of my teeth and my children’s teeth.
The staff was very nice and understanding. I chipped my tooth and they got me in right away. They even offered me a payment plan since I didn’t have the money then
Very good dentist and a very caring staff. I would recommend them for taking care of your teeth.
Excellent practice. Everyone is very personable and my appointment times have never been late. Would strongly recommend Dr. LoCascio and his staff.
He is absolutely the best, always gets me in anytime, and the staff is outstanding, helpful, always courteous. Highly recommended.
I have been going to Dr. LoCascio for over 20 years. He and his staff provide the best dental care and service. I highly recommend this practice to anyone who wants someone to care about them and their teeth. 🙂
Gum recession usually occurs in the later stages of gum disease. If left untreated, it puts you at risk of losing teeth. Disease isn’t the only cause of receding gums. Brushing your teeth too vigorously can also lead to recession. No matter what causes it, you’ll want to repair receding gums. Exposed tooth roots look unsightly and make you sensitive to temperature extremes.
Gums won’t grow back, so you can’t reverse gum recession without the help of a dentist. You may be able to prevent recession from worsening, though, by stepping up your oral hygiene. Brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush several times a day, and floss at least once a day. Several times a week, rinse your mouth with a solution of water and hydrogen peroxide (one part hydrogen peroxide to two parts water).
It doesn’t have to be! Dr. LoCascio performs a procedure called the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique. Unlike a gum graft, which involves cutting and stitches, he simply makes small pinholes in your gums, then manipulates your gum tissue back into place. It’s not only faster and more comfortable than a gum graft treatment, but you will recover more quickly too.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
