Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™) Receding gum treatment performed by Dr Colin Houston in Staines, Middlesex

WHAT IS GUM RECESSION?

Gum recession refers to the loss of gum tissue along the gum line. This can occur as a result of periodontal disease (gingivitis, periodontitis, advanced periodontitis), the natural aging process, or abrasive habits when it comes to brushing the teeth.

HOW IS PINHOLE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE™ (PST™) PERFORMED?

During the Pinhole Surgical Technique™, a needle is used to make a small hole in the patient’s existing gum tissue. Through this pinhole, special instruments are used to gently loosen the gum tissue. These tools help expand and slide the gum line to cover the exposed root structure.

There are no grafts, no sutures, and no incisions needed with the Pinhole Surgical Technique™. It involves simply the adjustment of the existing tissue.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CHAO PINHOLE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE (PST™)?

The benefits of the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™ are many:

Less discomfort for the patient after treatment
Faster recovery for the patient than traditional grafting
No need for uncomfortable sutures
No need for scalpels or invasive surgical tools
No need to take donor tissue from the patient’s palate
Excellent, natural-looking, long-lasting results

I just wanted to thank you Dr. Houston and your team for your exceptional dentistry during our time in Virginia Water. Your knowledge is quite impressive but you also have the ability to describe your treatments with great clarity. You went above and beyond in your service to our whole family, coming in on a Saturday just to help me out. And you helped me connect to a dentist when we moved back to California to ensure continuity of care. By the way, the dentists in Los Angeles were impressed with your approach and the treatment plan you had for me. Above all, you are wonderful with your patients and are an incredibly high integrity person. I thank you for the time I was able to benefit from your services and would highly recommend you to anyone. Sincerely Lloyd Mencinger CEO Aqua Medical Inc.

During my initial Invisalign consultation with Colin his attitude was positive, and he was certain that he would be able to improve my teeth, which was welcomed after condescending and disparaging comments from other dentists and orthodontists. Within 18 months my treatment was completed and the end result was far better than I had expected. All the staff are very approachable, and it is great to have found such a professional dental practice.

Colin is a perfectionist, and he has a gentle and caring manner. He uses the latest technology and I always feel I am in good hands. I'm so relaxed in the dental chair that I've even fallen asleep during a crown procedure! The practice is also run extremely efficiently.

I have been a patient of Colin Houston for 5 years. He corrected a number of problems that had occurred before I came with deteriorating old fillings and sensitive gums ultimately returning my teeth to good health. I then proceeded to have some straightening work over 8 months which was immensely successful. I am very grateful for the return of good health and a more attractive appearance. Thank you ColinPS I very much enjoyed watching the movies whilst treatment progressed!
