The Pain Free Way to Treat Gum Recession
The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique® (PST) is a state of the art, minimally invasive procedure that is scalpel-free and suture-free to treat gum recession. Using instruments specially designed for PST, Dr. Max Lingo makes a tiny opening (the size of a pin, hence the name “pinhole”) in the gum above the teeth affected by the gum recession and the patient’s existing healthy gum tissue is delicately pushed into place, covering the exposed part of the tooth. Dr. Max Lingo is proud to offer this pain free procedure in his Evansville Dental Office to treat gum recession.
The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique® offers an exciting breakthrough in the treatment of gum recession. Traditionally, gum recession is treated with periodontal grafting which can cause the patient great discomfort. PST is a restorative based treatment that produces as-good or better results than traditional gum grafting without the discomfort and faster recovery.
If you suffer from receding gums due to periodontal disease and would like to explore how this minimally invasive technique can benefit you, please contact our office to schedule a consultation with Dr. Lingo.
