How We Perform the Pinhole Surgical Technique

The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique is a relatively simple procedure, and can be performed on multiple sites within the same visit. Our doctors use special tools to make a small opening in the gums and loosen the tissue so that it can be moved over the areas where the gums have receded. The gums heal in this new position, and you will see a difference immediately.

Dr. Eastman incorporates the latest techniques in reconstructive periodontics, tissue engineering, dental implants placement and was among the first group of dentists in the U.S. trained in computer guided implant surgery.
