Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST)
A revolutionary, scalpel-free approach to gum recession treatment with instant results and minimal recovery.
A Revolutionary Treatment for Gum Recession
Gum recession affects millions of adults, exposing tooth roots and causing sensitivity, decay risk, and cosmetic concerns. The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) represents a paradigm shift in how we treat this condition. Rather than cutting tissue from the palate and grafting it to the recession site, PST uses a single pinhole entry point to gently reposition your existing gum tissue -- delivering immediate cosmetic improvement with dramatically less pain and downtime than traditional methods.
- No scalpels, no sutures, no tissue grafting
- Immediate visible improvement after treatment
- Multiple teeth treated in one visit
- Minimal downtime -- return to normal activities the next day

How PST Works
Evaluation
Comprehensive assessment of gum recession severity, tissue quality, and treatment goals. Digital imaging helps us plan the precise approach for optimal results.
Pinhole Access
A tiny pinhole is made in the gum tissue above the area of recession using a specialized needle instrument. No incisions or scalpels are used.
Tissue Repositioning
Through the pinhole, specially designed instruments gently loosen and reposition the gum tissue downward to cover the exposed root surfaces.
Stabilization
Small collagen strips are placed through the pinhole to hold the tissue securely in its new position. No sutures are needed -- the tissue heals naturally.
