A Gentle, Revolutionary Approach to Treating Gum Recession

Gum recession can lead to sensitivity, cosmetic concerns, and increased risk of tooth damage. At Potomac Periodontics & Dental Implants, Dr. Chris Drennen proudly offers the innovative Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST®). This minimally-invasive procedure effectively reverses gum recession without the discomfort and prolonged recovery associated with traditional gum grafting surgery.

Understanding the Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST®)

The Pinhole® Surgical Technique is a groundbreaking, minimally-invasive method designed to gently and quickly restore gum tissue to its proper position without incisions or sutures. Through tiny, pinhole-sized openings, specialized instruments carefully reposition your existing gum tissue, instantly covering exposed tooth roots and restoring a natural, healthy gumline.

How Does the Pinhole® Surgical Technique Work?

Dr. Drennen follows a meticulous, gentle procedure to ensure the best outcomes:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation

Dr. Drennen performs a detailed examination, including digital imaging, to carefully assess the extent of gum recession and determine candidacy for PST®.

2. Creating the Pinhole®

Tiny, pinhole-sized openings are made in the gum tissue, minimizing discomfort and ensuring fast healing.

3. Gentle Gum Tissue Adjustment

Specialized instruments gently loosen and reposition the gum tissue, carefully covering exposed tooth roots.

4. Collagen Strip Placement

Small collagen strips are strategically placed under the gums through the pinholes, supporting gum stability and encouraging natural tissue regeneration.

5. Immediate Results

Patients notice immediate cosmetic improvement with restored gum levels and minimal discomfort.

6. Follow-Up Care

Dr. Drennen schedules follow-up visits to ensure optimal healing and lasting results.
