Pinhole Surgical Technique vs Traditional Surgery

Rejuvenate your smile! NO Grafting. NO Incisions. NO Sewing.

Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST)™ is the Quick, Easy and Instantly Pleasing Gum Grafting Alternative

Nothing ages a smile and a face more than receding gums. Gum recession can also weaken teeth, causing sensitivity, root damage or even tooth loss.

With the new Pinhole Surgery Technique (PST), receding gums can be stably repaired without the use of traditional surgery that includes cutting, grafting and stitching.

Dr. Sanchez is currently among only a handful of doctors in the United States offering this breakthrough treatment. The PST gum recession procedure has been tested over a period of several years with uniformly good and lasting results.

Recently, this procedure was made available by inventor Dr. Chao to select dentists for more widespread application. The Pinhole Surgical Technique takes just a few minutes per treated tooth, with virtually no pain and no downtime.

Fast and effective gum recession treatment   

The pinhole technique is performed using just a small entry point.

With the new Pinhole Surgical Technique, we can treat all the affected teeth in one session, although patients can also opt for treating just one arch or quadrant at a time. Treatment is done using local anesthetic and treatment time is only one to two hours.

Patients typically have needed only a couple of Tylenol® or Ibuprofen post treatment. Results are stable, with cases maintaining their gum coverage even several years later.

How Pinhole Surgery works

Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ As Seen On The Doctors The affected teeth are cleaned and prepared and the gum tissue is numbed with a local anesthetic. A small entry point (0.1 inch) is made in the gum above the tooth or teeth to be treated.

Dr. Sanchez uses a specialized dental instrument designed and patented by PST inventor Dr. Chao to free the gum tissue at the entry point and gently move the gums down to their proper position. Next, they use a small angled instrument to pass several collagen strips through the entry point and place them under the gums. The collagen helps to stabilize the gums.

Dr. Sanchez can correct up to 14 teeth at once in one to two hours. There is little to no post-operative discomfort.
