For decades, severe cases of gum recession have been treated with the traditional cut & stitch gum grafting method, a nasty procedure that tends to leave patients in significant pain for weeks after the surgery. Barotz Dental is delighted to announce the introduction of a brand new, revolutionary gum recession treatment. The Pinhole Surgical Technique now offers patients with gum recession a noninvasive and extremely effective solution for correcting this problem. In certain instances in the past, Dr. Barotz has been reticent to recommend correcting severe cases of gum recession because of the painful ordeal it puts patients through. Thanks to the Pinhole Surgical Technique, we are enthusiastically recommending gum recession correction since it can be achieved in the modern, noninvasive manner that patients of Barotz Dental have come to expect over the last 35 years.

The Pinhole Surgical Technique, is a scalpel-free, suture-free procedure for correcting gum recession. Through a small hole, specially designed instruments are used to gently loosen the gum tissue and glide it over the receded part of the tooth. Rather than cutting out a piece of the palate to stitch to the area of recession, this elegant procedure uses a tiny pinhole to adjust the gum line and then rejuvenates the gums with the insertion of collagen. Because there are no scalpels, incisions, and sutures, patients sustain minimal pain and enjoy a rapid recovery, and many report feeling just fine the day after surgery. Most patients are also pleasantly surprised by the instant cosmetic improvement.

Why is the Pinhole Technique so Revolutionary?

Traditionally, the recommended treatment for severe cases of gum recession was the cut and stitch grafting surgery, a gruesome and painful procedure that usually leaves patients in a state of misery during the (approximately) two week recovery period. Because the PST does not involve a scalpel and can rejuvenate the gums through a tiny pinhole, the body isn’t required to accomplish nearly the same amount of healing. It’s not the grafting in the area of recession that makes the cut and stitch surgery so awful. The real pain is endured in the area where healthy gum tissue has been removed from the palate: it is this excision that tends to cause two plus weeks of intense and unrelenting pain from the neck up. Not only can the PST help you avoid the misery of traditional gum grafting, it will yield superior results. More effective gum recession treatment, less time at the dentist, WAY less pain, and shorter recovery times? That’s a revolution.
