Gum recession refers to the loss of tissue along the gum line, which can occur as a result of periodontal disease, the natural aging process or abrasive brushing habits. Learn how the Pinhole® Surgical Technique can help address this issue.

When gum recession occurs, the root structure of the tooth becomes exposed and leaves the tooth susceptible to decay and other problems along and beneath the gum line. Healthy gums are essential for a healthy mouth. Gum recession treatment is important for long-term dental wellness.

With micro-surgeries, like the Pinhole® Surgical Technique, we graft tissue and recover root surfaces through tiny access holes in your gum, which heal without sutures. The Pinhole® technique is a good example of gum regeneration/rejuvenation, where excellent results are obtained with minimal inconvenience.
