Pinhole Surgical Technique

The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) is a groundbreaking procedure designed to treat gum recession without invasive surgery. Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue pulls away from the tooth, exposing the root surface. This condition affects the appearance of your smile and makes teeth more vulnerable to sensitivity and damage. 

In the past, gum graft surgery was the only way to fully correct gum recession. Now, PST offers a minimally invasive solution for patients experiencing gum recession. This procedure uses specialized tools to create a small hole in the gum tissue. Then collagen material is added to the area to stabilize the affected area. Due to the minimally invasive nature of this treatment, your dentist can treat multiple areas of recession in just one visit. 

PST is close to painless and only requires a local anesthetic. Results from PST are natural-looking and more aesthetically appealing than traditional gum grafts. No sutures are required, and most patients can return to normal activities the next day.
