What Is the Pinhole Surgical Technique?

The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™) is a patented, minimally invasive procedure developed by Dr. John Chao to treat gum recession without the need for traditional gum grafting.

Using a small needle-sized hole, our specialist gently loosens and repositions the gum tissue over the exposed root surfaces. Collagen strips are then placed through the pinhole to stabilize the tissue and encourage natural healing.

Most patients experience immediate cosmetic improvement and can return to normal activities the same day. There are no incisions, no sutures, and minimal post-operative discomfort compared to conventional grafting procedures.

Why Choose Pinhole Treatment?

No Scalpels or Sutures

The entire procedure is performed through a tiny pinhole entry point, eliminating the need for incisions or stitches.

Same-Day Results

Patients see immediate improvement in their gumline appearance right after the procedure is completed.

Faster Recovery

Most patients return to their normal routine the same day with minimal swelling, bleeding, or discomfort.

Multiple Teeth at Once

Unlike traditional grafting, PST™ can treat multiple areas of recession in a single appointment.

Long-Lasting Protection

Repositioned gum tissue protects exposed roots from sensitivity, decay, and further recession.

Natural-Looking Outcome

The gumline is restored to a healthy, natural appearance that blends seamlessly with surrounding tissue.
