A Gentle, Stitch-Free Solution for Gum Recession
The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat gum recession without the need for stitches or scalpels. Also called pinhole gum surgery, this approach allows the dentist to make a small incision in the gum, loosen the tissue, and reposition it over the exposed tooth. Collagen is added to support the area, and unlike traditional gum grafting, PST doesn’t involve removing tissue from the palate. This makes it a quicker, less painful option with minimal post-operative discomfort, such as mild pain, swelling, or bleeding.
