At A Glance
What this service may involve
- Case selection based on recession pattern and tissue health
- Discussion of alternatives
- Recovery and home-care instructions
The Pinhole Surgical Technique can address recession in some patients with less tissue trauma than traditional grafting in certain situations. Candidacy requires a full periodontal assessment.
We review the extent of recession, gum thickness, inflammation, and your oral hygiene habits before suggesting whether this approach is suitable.
If another form of periodontal treatment would better support long-term stability, we will walk you through that recommendation and explain why.

Why It Matters
Choosing the right recession treatment
Not every case of gum recession should be treated the same way. Tissue thickness, recession pattern, inflammation, and the stability of surrounding teeth all influence whether this technique is a strong option.
We use the consultation process to compare approaches carefully so the recommended treatment supports comfort, aesthetics, and long-term tissue health.
