Scalpel-free, suture-free Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique in Toronto
Dr. Yolanda Cruz at Dentistry On The PATH performs the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST®) in Toronto — a scalpel-free, suture-free breakthrough treatment for gum recession, also known as Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ or the Lunchtime Gum Lift™. Patients experience minimal post-operative discomfort and see instant cosmetic improvement.
The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST®), invented and patented by John Chao, D.D.S., is a scalpel-free, suture-free procedure for treating gum recession.
Unlike traditional gum grafting, there are no incisions and no stitches. The procedure uses a small entry point and specialized instruments to gently reposition existing gum tissue over the receded area — preserving your natural gums while restoring the gum line.
Dr. Yolanda Cruz performs the procedure by making a small hole with a needle in the gum tissue. Then, using specially designed instruments, Dr. Cruz loosens the gum tissue and guides it over the receded part of the tooth.
Since there is no incision or suturing, patients can expect minimal post-operative symptoms — less pain, swelling, and bleeding than conventional grafting. Most of our patients are pleasantly surprised by the instant cosmetic improvement.
