A NEW approach for RECEDING GUMS AND TOOTH SENSITIVITY.

Do you experience tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or brushing? You may be suffering from receding gums, a common condition that exposes tooth roots and affects both comfort and appearance. Fortunately, there’s a gentle, minimally invasive treatment that restores gum health without scalpels or stitches — Pinhole Gum Grafting, also known as a Gum Lift and Rejuvenation procedure. Patients love this modern approach for its minimal discomfort, quick recovery, and immediate cosmetic results. It helps protect exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and rejuvenate your smile for a healthier, more confident you.

Receding-Gums

Say goodbye to scalpels and stitches.

Pinhole Gum Grafting is an innovative, scalpel-free and suture-free alternative to traditional gum graft surgery. 
This advanced technique gently repositions your existing gum tissue to cover exposed roots and rejuvenate your natural gum line — all through a tiny pinhole in the gum. During the procedure, your dentist uses specialized instruments to loosen and lift the gums, then places a small amount of collagen material to stabilize the tissue and encourage healing and regeneration. It helps protect your roots, strengthen your gums, and restore a healthier, more youthful smile.

Pinhole Gum Grafting FAQ

Anyone with receding gums, tooth sensitivity, or exposed roots may be a good candidate. A consultation will determine if this minimally invasive technique is the right fit for your smile.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort, rapid healing, and immediate cosmetic improvement, often treating multiple teeth in a single visit.

The result is a stronger, healthier, and more balanced smile that looks and feels completely natural.

 

I’ve seen how gum recession can affect comfort and confidence. That’s why I’m passionate about offering a gentle, proven solution that helps patients smile again without fear and sensitivity.
