At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, our dentist and team offer the Pinhole® surgery technique to treat gum recession without the need for traditional grafting. This minimally invasive approach is designed to reposition receding gum tissue and restore a more natural gumline using small entry points rather than surgical incisions or sutures.
Gum recession can expose tooth roots, increase sensitivity and affect the appearance of your smile. The pinhole technique allows us to correct these concerns with less discomfort, faster recovery and long-term cosmetic improvement. This treatment option is ideal for patients seeking a gentle, efficient alternative to conventional procedures.
What to Expect During Pinhole Treatment
The pinhole procedure begins with a thorough evaluation of your gums and overall oral health. Our dentist will determine if you are a candidate for the technique based on the severity and location of recession, as well as gum thickness and bone support.
During the procedure, a small hole is made in the gum tissue above the affected area. Special instruments are used to loosen and reposition the gum tissue over the exposed roots. Collagen strips may be inserted to stabilize the new position and promote healing. Because there are no scalpels or sutures involved, the recovery period is typically shorter and more comfortable than traditional gum grafting.
Patients are provided with aftercare instructions and scheduled for follow-up to monitor healing and results. With proper home care and regular checkups, the benefits of the pinhole technique can be long-lasting.
A Modern Alternative to Traditional Gum Surgery
The pinhole technique offers patients a simpler and less invasive path to gum health. It reduces treatment time, eliminates the need for tissue harvesting and offers immediate cosmetic improvement. Many patients are able to return to daily activities quickly, with minimal swelling or discomfort.
