Pinhole Surgical Technique
What is Pinhole Surgical Technique? This technique, also known as Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation, is a minimally invasive option for correcting gum recession and saving teeth. It is done through a small hole in the gums made by a needle. Then specially designed instruments are used to gently loosen the gum tissue and glide it back into position. Most patients are pleasantly surprised to find several benefits including instant cosmetic improvement, and that they are able to resume light activities within 24-48 hours. This is a big improvement over traditional corrections for receding gums. We have a video and images below so that you can see the difference that can be yours. Call us and get a free consultation to see if this is the option for you.
Why are receding gums a problem? Aside from the cosmetic disadvantage of receding gums, receding gums also lead to tooth loss. Buffalo Dental Implant and Dr. Gregory Farber are one of the few surgeons and Dental Centers in New York State that are certified to perform this technique right here in Buffalo NY.
