Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique
Gum Recession Breakthrough Treatment Also Known As Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ And Lunchtime Gum Lift™

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.
This procedure is performed by making a small hole with a needle in the gum tissue. Using specially designed instruments, the gum tissue is loosened and guided over the receded part of the tooth.
Since there is no incision or suturing, patients can expect minimal post-operative symptoms (pain, swelling and bleeding). Most patients also are pleasantly surprised by the instant cosmetic improvement.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial
Dr. Rubinoff is excellent. I had gum surgery 10 years ago and he did a wonderful job. So I returned again when I had to get another surgery done. He is very patient and very good in what he does. Glad that I am his patient.
