RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY


-
The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) is a minimally invasive treatment designed to correct gum recession without traditional gum grafting. A tiny opening is created in the gum tissue, allowing your dentist to gently reposition the gums over exposed tooth roots. Because no scalpels, stitches, or donor tissue are required, many patients experience greater comfort and a quicker recovery.
