Correcting Gum Recession Quickly With Less Pain.
I am excited to inform you that I am the first and only periodontist in North Central Florida certified in the Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST).
Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST), is a scalpel-free, suture-free, graft-free procedure for correcting gum recession.
Through a small hole made by a needle, specially designed instruments are used to gently loosen the gum tissue and glide it over the receded part of the tooth. Collagen is then placed in the areas of recession and the gingival tissues are moved coronally to cover the areas of gingival recession. Since there is no cutting or stitching, patients can expect minimal post-operative symptoms (pain, swelling and bleeding). Most patients are also surprised by the instant cosmetic improvement.
The Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST) is an alternative treatment to traditional soft tissue grafting. I believe no one procedure is appropriate for all cases. Case selection for different grafting techniques is vital to the success of these surgical procedures.
As always, thank you for your support and confidence in our practice. I am always striving to be on the cutting edge of periodontics and implant dentistry.
Should you have any questions regarding periodontal or implant issues, please do not hesitate to call or email me.
