Refine and Beautify Your Smile With Pinhole® Gum Rejuvenation

You’ll be surprised at how quickly and comfortably you can restore receding gums – without scalpels, stitches, or lengthy recovery times. At Arlington Dental Professionals, we provide Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation, a state-of-the-art substitute for conventional gum grafting that restores your gums to a healthy, natural position with little recovery time!

What Is Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation?

Developed by Dr. John Chao in 2012, the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) is a gentle, minimally invasive method that uses tiny pinholes in the gum tissue to treat recession without stitches. This treatment also reverses gingival recession without using donor graft, flap elevation, or sutures.

Did you know that gum recession affects 88% of adults across America aged 65 and older and 50% of young adults aged 18 to 24? Pinhole gum rejuvenation has been used for over a decade to treat gingival recession with great success!

Additional advantages of this procedure include:

• Decrease in pain
• More teeth can be treated during your treatment
• Increase in tissue thickness
• High-quality color match

Results from this technique can last over 14 years, providing you with enduring restorative support! Patients can experience swift cosmetic results 24 to 48 hours after the procedure.

Patient Candidacy for Treatment

Candidates should be free of severe inflammation or active periodontal disease, and their teeth and gums should be in good condition. Smoking impairs healing and affects the success of the procedure. Non-smokers or those willing to cease smoking before treatment are better suited for this procedure. Non-candidates can include patients with poorly controlled diabetes, severe gum recession, and a compromised immune system.

Recovery Tips and Information for Post-Surgery

Although you may feel experience some sensitivity, most patients feel well enough to resume eating the same evening. In addition to minor discomfort, patients could experience significant edema, which will go away in roughly seven days.

Your confidence and general dental health are greatly influenced by the condition of your gums. You no longer need to decide between having to endure an uncomfortable surgery or protecting your smile thanks to Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation in Arlington. Schedule your personalized consultation today!
