Gum Makeover

We are proud to offer Pinhole Surgical Technique to our patients. Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST), is a minimally invasive treatment option to reverse gingival recession without grafting or sutures. What is PST (also referred to as the Lunchtime Gum Lift or Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation)? It is a novel procedure that combines techniques from traditional periodontal surgical procedures, such as coronally positioned flaps and guided bone regeneration, to reverse gingival recession. A coronally positioned flap (CPF) is a technique that requires creating an incision in the sulcus and across the papillae of affected teeth, elevating a flap (either full or split thickness), pulling the flap coronally, and suturing it into place. These techniques are often combined with autogenous grafts, allografts (cadaver), or xenografts (animal).
