Pinhole Surgical Technique in Pleasant Grove, UT
A minimally invasive way to correct gum recession, with no scalpels, no stitches, and a faster recovery than traditional grafting.
What is the Pinhole Surgical Technique?
The Pinhole Surgical Technique is a modern, minimally invasive way to treat gum recession. Instead of cutting and stitching grafted tissue, Dr. Jackson gently loosens and repositions your existing gum tissue through a tiny pinhole, covering exposed roots. There's no scalpel, no sutures, and recovery is typically quick and comfortable.
Dr. Jackson has specific training in this technique, so it's available right here in Pleasant Grove.
Why treat gum recession
When gums recede, they expose the sensitive roots of your teeth, which can cause sensitivity, increase the risk of decay, and make your smile look 'long in the tooth.' Treating recession protects the teeth and improves their appearance.
The Pinhole technique addresses recession without the discomfort people associate with traditional gum grafts.
What to expect
Through a tiny entry point, we reposition the gum tissue to cover the exposed roots, securing it without stitches. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable it is and how good the results look right away.
Recovery is usually faster and gentler than with traditional grafting, with minimal swelling.
