Pinhole Surgical Technique Specialist Dr. Kao
The Pinhole Surgical Technique, or PST, is a state of the art, minimally invasive procedure to treat areas of gum recession. It does not require the use of scalpels, stitches or a second surgical site to harvest gum tissue. But it will give back the gums you have lost.
With his background in Periodontology, Dr. Kao applies the PST with his understanding of the physiology and behavior of gum tissue. Common signs and symptoms of gum recession include dental sensitivity, root erosion, compromised cosmetics and continued gum loss. Please call to schedule a free consultation Dr. Kao if you have concerns about your gum health.
