The Pinhole® Surgical Technique is a gum recession treatment invented by Dr. John Chao.  It is also known as Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation and Lunchtime Gum Lift. The Pinhole® Surgical Technique is a scalpel-free, suture-free procedure for treating gum recession.  This procedure is performed by making a small hole with a needle in the gum tissue. Using specially designed instruments, the gum tissue is loosened and guided over the receded part of the tooth. Since there is no incision or suturing, patients can expect minimal post-operative symptoms (pain, swelling and bleeding). Most patients also are pleasantly surprised by the instant cosmetic improvement.  To learn more about the Pinhole Surgical Technique, please contact our office at 780-594-5056.
