Pinhole Surgery

The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST®), invented and patented by John Chao, D.D.S., is a scalpel-free, suture-free procedure for treating gum recession.

This comfortable, seamless pinhole surgery is performed by first creating a small hole in the gum tissue using a needle. Using special dental instruments, the soft gum tissue is then loosened and guided to fit over the receded section of the tooth. Because there are no incisions or sutures involved, patients can expect little to no side effects or symptoms (pain, swelling, and bleeding) following their pinhole surgery. Most of our patients are pleasantly surprised by the immediate results!
