Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique

If you have been diagnosed with receding gums, gum grafting surgery may have been recommended. Did you know, however, there is a breakthrough method for treating receding gums that involves no cutting, no stitches, and no second surgical sight? Dr. Jacqueline Subka is a periodontist trained and certified to perform the latest method in gum recession surgery in Thousand Oaks, CA called the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™).

John Chao D.D.S. invented and patented PST™, a minimally invasive technique, and has been training dentists all over the world to be able to save their patients’ teeth and gums with this innovative treatment. Receding gums are a sign of periodontal disease but can also be caused by other factors such as aggressive tooth brushing, hormonal changes, bruxism (teeth grinding), crooked teeth, and oral piercings. Whatever the reason, you should seek treatment immediately if you have receding gums. Your gums will not grow back by themselves and you will need the help of Dr. Subka to restore your mouth to optimal oral health.

Comfortable and Effective

With PST™, Dr. Subka will make sure the area to be treated is numb to ensure a comfortable visit. A small ‘pinhole’ is made in the gums, through which special instruments are used to loosen and position your gum tissue to cover the areas of recession. Collagen strips are inserted for healing. Patients receive immediate cosmetic benefits and can often return to their daily routine. Unlike traditional gum recession surgery, there are no large incisions, no stitches, and no second surgical site.
