How Pinhole Works
Gum recession is a common dental problem that requires care.
The Pinhole Technique involves replacing your lost gum tissue with tissue from the immediate vicinity. It’s a natural and conservative approach with little risk of complication.
With the Pinhole Technique, a pin-size hole is made in your existing gum tissue, just above or below your tooth. Then, small periodontal instruments are used to gently loosen your gum tissue. The gum tissue is moved into place to cover the exposed root structure of your tooth and restore the appearance of your gumline. Your body simply adjusts to the slight movement in gum tissue and periodontal health is restored.
Does Pinhole Cost More?
Costs associated with the Pinhole Technique procedure are about the same as a gum graft procedure. As with gum grafts, most dental benefits providers cover the Pinhole Technique, though individual policies can vary.
Trained Specialist
Palm Beach Gardens Periodontist Dr. Lee R. Cohen completed postdoctoral training and Pinhole Technique Certification with the doctor who pioneered the procedure. Dr. Cohen sought the training because he wanted his patients to have faster results and less pain. He was one of the first gum surgery specialists in the country to offer the Pinhole Technique.
