The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™) is a revolutionary new receding gums treatment that requires only a single tiny opening in the gum line. Instead of removing and repositioning tissue samples, PST™ uses a minimally invasive technique to gently loosen and reposition existing gum tissue over exposed tooth roots. Patients in need of gum recession surgery in Valencia, CA can contact Dr. David Goldberg for more information!
Is gum recession dangerous?
Although the early symptoms of gum recession may not seem urgent to some patients, they can escalate and cause interference with daily life. Without receding gums treatment, the roots remain exposed and may be sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. This makes eating certain foods difficult and even painful in some cases. Increased tooth exposure also makes the severity and frequency of decay and damage much greater. In severe cases, gum recession can even cause teeth to become loose and require extraction.
How does PST™ work?
Unlike traditional methods of receding gums treatment, PST™ does not require multiple incisions or sutures. Instead, a single opening the size of a pinhole is created in the gum tissue so that special instruments can be inserted. Dr. Goldberg will use these instruments to gradually loosen the tissue and stretch it over the exposed area of the tooth. Once adequate coverage has been achieved, a special collagen material is used to hold the tissue in place while it heals and naturally reattaches to the tooth.
