Pinhole® Gum Rejuvenation™ in White Rock, BC

Pinhole® Gum Rejuvenation™ Near You

A common symptom of periodontal disease is receding gums. In other words, the tissue starts to pull back from the teeth, leaving the tooth and its roots exposed. A new space or “pocket” is made where bacteria and other particles can gather, leading to inflammation and infection.

Fortunately, thanks to new advancements in the dental field, this can be addressed with the pinhole surgical technique. We utilize this approach here at RA Dental to keep our patients comfortable and help them achieve the results they deserve. For more information, contact one of our dentists near you.

How Does It Work?

Instead of taking tissue from the roof of your mouth and stitching it over your gums (this is known as gum grafting), the pinhole technique involves the following:
  1. Creating a tiny hole in your gum where the recession is, about the size of a pin.
  2. Special dental tools are used to gently loosen and then reposition the gum tissue over the exposed roots.
  3. Collagen strips are added to help stabilize and protect the area and encourage healing.

And that’s it! Inform our dentist in White Rock, BC if you have any concerns or inquiries about this.

Why Consider the Pinhole Technique?

There are multiple advantages to the pinhole technique:
  • Minimally Invasive: No large incisions or stitches are required.
  • Quick Recovery: Most people heal within a few days of getting the procedure instead of weeks.
  • Instant Results: You’ll be able to notice a difference after your treatment.
  • Less Discomfort: Less pain, swelling, and bleeding compared to traditional gum grafts.

What is the Pinhole Surgical Technique?
The Pinhole Surgical Technique gently corrects gum recession without cutting or stitches. We make small holes to allow the gum tissue and slide back over the tooth roots, to protect them and improve your smile. The Pinhole Surgical Technique is a fast, modern way to restore healthy gums.
Traditional gum grafting usually takes tissue from your palate and then stitches it in place. Pinhole Surgical technique uses no grafts or sutures, which means less discomfort and quicker healing afterward. It is a less invasive and effective way of treating gum recession.
Patients experience minor discomfort during and after the Pinhole Surgical Technique. Local anesthesia is utilized in the area so you are comfortable during the procedure, and many patients describe the Pinhole Surgical Technique as being less painful than traditional surgical treatment for gum recession.
Patients are often amazed by how quickly they are able to recover from the Pinhole Surgical Technique. Most patients will return to daily activities within 24 to 48 hours, and you will be given aftercare instructions from a professional to heal properly and achieve your optimal result for your gums.
Many people with receding gums are good candidates for pinhole surgery. If you have exposed tooth roots causing sensitivity or cosmetic concerns, this technique might be ideal for you. A dental examination will confirm if it’s the right solution for you.
If you maintain your oral hygiene and have regular dental appointments, the results of the Pinhole Surgical Technique could last for many years to come. Protecting your gum health will ensure that the gum line stays elevated for years down the road!
