Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique
Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST) is a breakthrough treatment for gum recession. Dr. Lear is trained and certified in this minimally invasive option to treat gum recession. PST differs from traditional gum grafting. There are no grafts, no sutures, and no incisions. It involves a small pinhole where the existing gum tissue is gently loosened and adjusted with special instruments. Collagen strips are then placed to help stabilize the gums.
