What Is Pinhole® Gum Rejuvenation?

Pinhole gum rejuvenation Hackensack, NJPinhole® Gum Rejuvenation is a minimally invasive procedure designed to gently reposition your existing gum tissue to cover areas of recession. Instead of cutting or suturing donor tissue, we create a tiny pinhole opening in the gum above the affected tooth. Through this opening, special instruments are used to:

  • Loosen the gum tissue
  • Slide it into a healthier, more protective position
  • Stabilize it to cover the exposed root surface
  • The pinhole closes naturally within a day, and because there is no cutting, the healing process is significantly faster and more comfortable than traditional grafting.
