Pinhole Surgical
Technique (PST):

Revolutionary, Minimally
Invasive Gum Recession
Treatment

At Mission Implant Center, we’re excited to offer the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST)-a groundbreaking, minimally invasive treatment for gum recession. This advanced procedure allows us to restore your gum line without the need for traditional grafting, incisions, or stitches. PST is a game-changer for patients suffering from receding gums, providing immediate results with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Gum recession is more than a cosmetic issue-it can lead to serious dental health problems, such as tooth sensitivity, root exposure, and an increased risk of tooth loss. The Pinhole Surgical Technique addresses these concerns effectively, giving you a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile without the long recovery associated with traditional methods.

What is the Pinhole Surgical
Technique (PST)?

Developed by Dr. John Chao, the Pinhole Surgical Technique is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum grafting. Instead of removing tissue from another part of your mouth and stitching it to the receded area, PST uses a small pinhole made in the gum to gently reposition the gum tissue back to its proper place.
Using specialized instruments, your dentist will loosen and guide the gum tissue over the exposed roots, instantly covering them and protecting your teeth. The result is a natural-looking gum line with minimal trauma to the tissue.

Minimal Downtime:

Because there are no large incisions or sutures, recovery time is significantly shorter compared to traditional grafting. Most patients can return to their normal activities within 24 to 48 hours, making this the perfect option for those with busy lifestyles.

No Tissue Grafts:

Traditional gum grafting requires the removal of tissue from another part of your mouth, often the palate, which can be painful and require additional healing time. With PST, there's no need for tissue removal, making it a far more comfortable process.

Reduced Pain and Swelling:

Since the procedure is minimally invasive, there is far less post-operative pain, swelling, and bleeding compared to other surgical options. Most patients report little to no discomfort after the treatment

The PST Process at
Mission Implant Center

1- Consultation and Evaluation:

During your initial consultation, our team will perform a thorough evaluation of your gums and overall oral health to determine if PST is the right treatment for you. We’ll explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have.

2- The Procedure:

On the day of your procedure, a small pinhole is created in the gum tissue near the area of recession. Using specialized instruments, we’ll gently loosen and reposition the gum tissue to cover the exposed roots. Since the process requires no incisions or stitches, it’s much less invasive and uncomfortable than traditional gum surgery.

3- Recovery:

Most patients experience minimal discomfort after the procedure and can return to normal activities the next day. There may be some slight swelling or tenderness, but this typically resolves within a few days.

4- Follow-Up Care:

We’ll provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your gums after the procedure to ensure optimal healing. Regular follow-up appointments will help us monitor your progress and maintain your results.
