At Elevation Dental Group, we are proud to offer the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST), a revolutionary, minimally invasive procedure for treating gum recession. This innovative technique provides an alternative to traditional gum grafting, offering faster healing and minimal discomfort for patients looking to restore their gum health and protect their teeth.
Gum recession is a common dental issue where the gum tissue surrounding the teeth pulls back, exposing more of the tooth or its root. This can lead to increased sensitivity, a higher risk of decay, and aesthetic concerns. Factors contributing to gum recession include periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, tobacco use, and genetic predisposition. Addressing gum recession promptly is crucial to maintaining oral health and preventing further complications.
Traditional gum grafting methods can be invasive and require a lengthy recovery period. The Pinhole Surgical Technique offers a modern alternative that minimizes discomfort and accelerates healing. By opting for PST™, patients can achieve healthier gums and a more attractive smile without the drawbacks of conventional surgery. This technique particularly benefits those seeking a less invasive solution with immediate cosmetic improvements.
The Pinhole Surgical Technique is a modern approach to treating gum recession that involves no cutting, sutures, or grafts. Instead, a small entry point, or “pinhole,” is made in the gum tissue. Specialized instruments are then used to gently loosen and reposition the gum tissue over the exposed roots, effectively covering the recessed area. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and requires only local anesthesia, making it a more comfortable option for patients.
Benefits of the Pinhole Surgical Technique:
PST is ideal for patients experiencing gum recession due to periodontal disease, aging, or aggressive brushing. If you have sensitive teeth or visible root surfaces or want to avoid the discomfort and downtime associated with traditional gum grafting, the Pinhole Surgical Technique may be an excellent option.
