The Pinhole Surgical Technique is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat gum recession without traditional surgery. At Monroe Dental and Implants, this advanced treatment helps restore gum health, improve appearance, and reduce sensitivity with minimal discomfort and downtime.
This modern approach allows for faster healing and natural-looking results.
What Is the Pinhole Surgical Technique?
The Pinhole Surgical Technique is a non-invasive gum recession treatment that requires no cutting or sutures. A small pinhole is created in the gum tissue, allowing the gums to be gently repositioned over exposed tooth roots.
This technique preserves healthy tissue while restoring the gum line.
When Is Pinhole Surgery Recommended?
Pinhole surgery is ideal for patients experiencing gum recession.
It may be recommended if you have:
- Exposed tooth roots
- Tooth sensitivity
- Receding gums
- Uneven gum lines
- Increased risk of root decay
- Discomfort when eating or brushing
