At Rigby Dental in Sandy, UT, we’re proud to offer a cutting-edge solution for gum recession: the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST).
This minimally invasive procedure is an innovative alternative to traditional gum grafting, designed to restore your gum line without stitches or significant downtime.
If you’re experiencing gum recession, the Pinhole Surgical Technique at Rigby Dental can rejuvenate your smile, improve your dental health, and enhance your comfort with outstanding results.
What Is The Pinhole Surgical Technique™?
The Pinhole Surgical Technique, developed by Dr. John Chao, is a scalpel-free, suture-free procedure for treating gum recession. This technique involves making a small pinhole in the gum tissue, through which special instruments are used to gently loosen and reposition the gum tissue over areas where the gums have receded. Because there is no cutting or stitching, patients experience minimal pain, swelling, and bleeding compared to traditional grafting methods.
Benefits Of The Pinhole Surgical Technique™
Choosing the Pinhole Surgical Technique at Rigby Dental means benefiting from a procedure with reduced post-operative symptoms and a quicker recovery period.
- Minimally invasive: Unlike traditional gum grafting, PST does not require incisions or sutures, resulting in minimal post-operative discomfort.
- Quick recovery: Patients typically experience minimal pain and swelling, allowing for a faster return to daily activities.
- No donor tissue required: PST eliminates the need for donor tissue, which means no additional surgical sites and a more comfortable recovery.
- Immediate cosmetic improvement: Enjoy instant cosmetic improvements with less gum recession visible immediately after the procedure.
The Effects Of Gum Recession
Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue that surrounds and protects our teeth pulls back, exposing more of the tooth or its root. This can be caused by a variety of factors such as brushing too hard, genetics, and gum disease. When left untreated, gum recession can lead to tooth decay, sensitivity, and even tooth loss.
Recovering & Aftercare
After undergoing the minimally invasive PST procedure, patients can expect a quick and comfortable recovery. Unlike traditional gum grafting surgery which requires weeks of downtime, PST allows for a faster return to daily activities. This is because no donor tissue is required, eliminating the need for additional surgical sites and reducing post-operative discomfort.
Is The Pinhole Surgical Technique™ Right For You?
Ideal candidates for the Pinhole Surgical Technique are individuals suffering from gum recession who may be hesitant about undergoing traditional gum grafting due to fears of discomfort or extensive recovery times. During your consultation at Rigby Dental, we will conduct a thorough examination of your gums and discuss whether PST is the best option for your dental health and cosmetic goals.
