Do Receding Gums Make Your Teeth Look Long or Feel Sensitive?
Gum recession is more than just a cosmetic concern; it exposes the sensitive roots of your teeth to decay, leads to hypersensitivity, and can age your smile significantly. If you have been avoiding treatment because you fear the pain, incisions, and long recovery time associated with traditional gum grafting, Sola Dental Spa offers a revolutionary solution.
The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST), also known as Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation, is a scalpel-free, suture-free procedure designed to correct gum recession instantly. Unlike traditional grafting, which requires cutting tissue from the roof of your mouth, PST uses a tiny, pin-sized entry point to gently loosen and glide your existing gum tissue over the exposed root structure. Collagen strips are then placed to stabilize the gums, resulting in a healthier, younger-looking smile without invasive surgery.
Benefits of Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation
- No Scalpels or Sutures: The entire procedure is performed through a tiny pinhole, eliminating the need for cutting or stitching.
- Minimal Discomfort: Patients experience significantly less pain and swelling compared to traditional grafting.
- Immediate Results: You will see a cosmetic improvement the moment the procedure is finished.
- Fast Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours.
- Comprehensive Treatment: We can treat up to 14 teeth—or your entire mouth—in a single sitting.

What to Expect During Your Procedure
At Sola Dental Spa, we ensure your comfort throughout the Pinhole process:
- Preparation: We thoroughly clean the affected teeth and apply a local anesthetic to numb the area completely.
- The Pinhole: Using a specialized needle, we make a tiny hole in the gum tissue above the exposed root.
- Rejuvenation: Special instruments are inserted through the pinhole to gently loosen the gum tissue and guide it down to cover the exposed root structure.
- Stabilization: Tiny collagen strips are inserted through the pinhole to hold the gums in their new position and promote healing. No stitches are required.
