Chao Pinhole gum grafting
Chao Pinhole in Tigard, OR
Surgical Technique For Gum Recession
Receding gums not only dampens a youthful appearance, it's also one of the first major signs of gum disease. The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) is an effective alternative to gum grafting, as it's non-invasive and doesn't require cutting the gum tissue. Traditional gum grafting is followed by longer healing and can sometimes produce discomfort in patients. With PST, receding gums can be effectively repaired without the grafting, cutting, and post-operative pain that is part of traditional surgery. Dr. Thanik at Progressive Periodontics, Implants and Laser Therapy is one of the very few dentists in the area that is trained and licensed to perform this treatment.

A More Effective & Efficient Procedure
We will recommend PST if you are suffering from gum recession or show signs of a receding gum. Since healthy gums is connected to your overall health, it's important to seek treatment as soon as you notice symptoms. During the PST procedure, a needle is used to make a small hole in the patient's existing gum tissue. Through this pinhole, special instruments are used to gently loosen the gum tissue. We then used special dentistry tools to spread and slide the gum line to cover the exposed root. Throughout the entire process, there are no need for grafts or incisions, it simply involves the adjustment of your existing gum tissue.
