In spirit of National Without a Scalpel Day, Dr. Jacqueline Subka is encouraging everyone to get proactive about their dental health by learning about the Chao Pinhole™ Surgical Technique, also known as PST™. It is a very effective and minimally invasive form of gum recession treatment in Thousand Oaks, CA for individuals who either suffer from dental phobia or are leery about gum grafting.

Things to Consider

If you are in search of a relatively painless way to improve the appearance of your smile and put an end to your receding gums, then look no further than the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique. It offers you a convenient way to avoid traditional gum grafting while repairing your gums. In addition to being a more practical option, you can:

  • Experience less bleeding
  • Receive treatment in fewer sessions
  • Save time
  • Minimize discomfort
  • See immediate results
  • Enjoy long lasting results

If you are considering this procedure because you have gum disease, keep in mind this technique does not cure or treat the disease, it only repairs gum shrinkage.

A Clear Treatment Option for Most Individuals

Unlike traditional gum grafting, PST™ is a special form of dental surgery that is done without the use of scalpels and sutures. The procedure involves the creation of tiny pinholes in the gum tissue so the dentist can insert a small dental tool to loosen up the remaining tissue. The expanded gum tissue is then gently adjusted to cover exposed teeth roots. By covering the teeth roots, the dentist can restore the appearance and function of a healthy smile. Although the procedure is straight forward, some people may not be good candidates for this form of gum recession treatment in Thousand Oaks, CA. A thorough examination and assessment of personal dental history is required before one can undergo the PST™.

If you are ready to experience the benefits of the PST™, do not hesitate to contact our dental office at (805) 433-9575 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Subka.
