PINHOLE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE:<br />
A revolutionary new way to achieve your best smile!<br />
BEFORE<br />
A University Study revealed that 89%<br />
of patients over 20 years old have gingival<br />
recession. Receding gums can be caused<br />
by gum disease or because of excessive<br />
brushing, certain medications, clenching or<br />
grinding, or smoking. Not only are receding<br />
gums painful and unattractive, but the<br />
actual bone underneath is being lost, leading<br />
to tooth loss.<br />
The Pinhole Surgical Technique is a<br />
revolutionary procedure that solves the<br />
problem of receding gums. PST offers<br />
natural-looking, long-lasting healthy smiles<br />
to those suffering from receded gums,<br />
giving patients a beautiful new smile in as<br />
little as an hour. Since nothing more than<br />
local anesthesia is needed, patients can<br />
return to work after their appointment.<br />
The Pinhole Surgical Technique takes<br />
the place of traditional gum grafts, with<br />
minimal discomfort or pain. In fact, recovery<br />
time is virtually nonexistent with PST. The<br />
results are more predictable, less notice-<br />
able, and will last as long as any other gum<br />
correction procedure. Stunning new smiles<br />
can be seen immediately.<br />
Dr. Erik Svans, DDS was among the<br />
first dentists to study the Pinhole Surgical<br />
Technique under its inventor, Dr. John C.<br />
Chao, DDS in 2014. Since introducing PST<br />
to his practice, Dr. Svans has seen very<br />
predictable and reliable long-term results.<br />
There is no scalpel, incision, or<br />
stitches with PST, making it virtually painfree.<br />
This innovative procedure uses a<br />
.1 inch “pinhole” opening to reposition a<br />
patient’s receded gumline to its healthy,<br />
natural location. After repositioning the<br />
gum tissue to cover the exposed root<br />
surface, Dr. Svans strategically places<br />
collagen through the Pinhole to stabilize<br />
the tissue in place. The collagen resets<br />
the gum tissue and makes it stronger than<br />
before. Patients can return to normal eating<br />
that very night.<br />
Previously, treatment for receded<br />
AFTER<br />
gumlines was very painful and required<br />
cutting donor gum tissue from the roof of a<br />
patient’s mouth. The donor tissue was then<br />
stitched to the receded site, which had<br />
also been cut or “flapped” in preparation<br />
for the graft. Recovery for this traditional<br />
surgical technique requires two to three<br />
weeks with prescription pain medicine.<br />
In contrast, PST is a kinder, gentler<br />
procedure since it only requires a repositioning<br />
of existing gum tissue over the<br />
exposed root surface. With PST, Dr. Svans<br />
can treat one to all teeth in one visit, in as<br />
little as 30 minutes.<br />
Patients are amazed with the results,<br />
instantly falling in love with their healthy,<br />
beautiful new smiles. If you’re ready to stop<br />
living with the pain and embarrassment<br />
of recessed gums, the Pinhole Surgical<br />
Technique may be right for you!<br />
