Pinhole Surgical Technique

Restore receding gums with a minimally invasive procedure that avoids grafting and ensures a quick recovery.

Restore Receding Gums with Ease

Gum recession can leave you feeling self-conscious and vulnerable to oral health issues. The Pinhole Surgical Technique at Rejuvenation Dentistry offers a minimally invasive way to restore your gum line without grafting or extensive recovery. Our biologic approach ensures safe, effective results that protect your oral microbiome and enhance your overall wellness. Led by our skilled team, this innovative treatment is designed to give you back a complete, confident smile.

What Is the Pinhole Surgical Technique?

The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™) is a revolutionary, minimally invasive procedure for treating gum recession. Unlike traditional grafting methods that require scalpels, sutures, and tissue harvesting, PST uses a small pinhole in the gum tissue to reposition it over exposed roots. This advanced technique restores the natural gum line while dramatically reducing discomfort, healing time, and the risk of complications.

At Rejuvenation Dentistry, we combine this groundbreaking method with our biologic philosophy, ensuring every treatment supports your overall health and well-being. Developed by renowned dentist Dr. John Chao, PST has transformed gum recession care, offering immediate results and unparalleled comfort. With no need for multiple surgical sites, PST is gentler on the body, making it the preferred choice for achieving a healthy, balanced smile.

The Benefits of Pinhole Surgical Technique

Gum recession impacts more than just your appearance—it exposes tooth roots, leading to sensitivity and an increased risk of oral health issues. The Pinhole Surgical Technique offers a game-changing, minimally invasive solution to restore gum health without the discomfort and extended healing time of traditional grafting. This innovative approach provides the following benefits:

Quick, Painless Procedure: This minimally invasive technique significantly reduces discomfort during and after the procedure, ensuring a more comfortable experience.
Immediate Results: The gum line is restored instantly, improving both aesthetics and protection against further damage.
No Scalpels or Sutures: Eliminating the need for painful grafting procedures, PST minimizes the risk of complications and reduces healing time.
Preservation of Oral Health: By protecting exposed tooth roots, PST reduces sensitivity, prevents further gum recession, and promotes long-term oral health.
Minimized Surgical Sites: Unlike traditional methods requiring multiple incisions, PST works through a single pinhole, offering a gentler and more efficient alternative.
Natural Aesthetics: The technique shapes the tissue around your teeth for a natural, arch-like appearance that enhances your smile’s beauty.

Is the Pinhole Surgical Technique Right for Me?

If you’re dealing with gum recession, tooth sensitivity, or an uneven gum line, the Pinhole Surgical Technique may be the ideal solution for you. This innovative treatment is particularly suited for individuals who want to restore their gum line without the discomfort, extended recovery time, or risks associated with traditional grafting.
