The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) at London Dental Specialists offers a minimally invasive solution for treating gum recession without the need for incisions or sutures. This innovative procedure involves creating a tiny pinhole in the gum tissue, through which specialised instruments gently reposition the gums to cover exposed root surfaces. Our comprehensive process includes an initial consultation and assessment, development of a customised treatment plan, the PST procedure itself, and detailed post-treatment care to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.

The Pinhole Surgical Technique is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat gum recession without the need for traditional gum grafting. Unlike conventional methods, this innovative technique involves making a small pinhole in the gum tissue and using specialised instruments to gently loosen and reposition the existing gum tissue over the exposed tooth roots. No cutting, no sutures, and no donor tissue is required, making it a revolutionary approach to treating gum recession at London Dental Specialists.
Yes, the Pinhole Surgical Technique has a success rate of over 95%, making it as consistently effective as traditional gum grafting methods. At London Dental Specialists, patients experience faster results and significantly reduced healing periods compared to conventional gum recession treatments. The technique provides immediate cosmetic improvement with long-lasting results when proper oral hygiene is maintained.
The Pinhole Surgical Technique is virtually pain-free during the procedure as our specialists at London Dental Specialists use local anaesthetic to completely numb the treatment area. Being minimally invasive with no cutting or suturing, patients typically experience only mild discomfort after the procedure. Most patients report significantly less post-operative pain compared to traditional gum grafting, with many returning to normal activities the following day.
The Pinhole Surgical Technique at London Dental Specialists typically takes between 1-2 hours, depending on the number of teeth being treated. Multiple teeth can be treated in a single session, which is a significant advantage over traditional gum grafting that often requires multiple appointments. This time-efficient approach means less time in the dental chair and faster overall treatment completion.
Recovery from the Pinhole Surgical Technique is remarkably quick. Most patients at London Dental Specialists experience minimal downtime, with many returning to normal activities within 24-48 hours. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur for a few days but typically resolves quickly. This is significantly faster than the 2-3 weeks recovery often associated with traditional gum grafting procedures.
The results from Pinhole Surgical Technique can last indefinitely with proper care. For optimal long-term outcomes, London Dental Specialists recommends:
