Revolutionary Gum Recession Treatment: The Pinhole Surgical Technique™

At Pelican Landing Dental, we’re proud to offer the innovative Pinhole Surgical Technique™ (PST) for gum recession treatment, provided by Dr. Serge Orlov. This minimally invasive procedure represents a significant advancement in periodontal treatment, offering our patients a scalpel-free, suture-free option for treating gum recession.

Dr. Orlov has completed extensive training and certification in the Pinhole Surgical Technique™, demonstrating his commitment to providing patients with the most advanced and comfortable treatment options available. His expertise in this revolutionary procedure has helped numerous patients restore their gum health and save their natural teeth.

Understanding the Pinhole Surgical Technique™

The Pinhole Surgical Technique™ is a breakthrough approach to treating gum recession that doesn’t require traditional cutting or suturing. Through a tiny pinhole made in the gum tissue, specialized instruments gently loosen and reposition the gum tissue to cover exposed tooth roots. This technique has transformed the way we treat gum recession, offering patients a more comfortable alternative to traditional gum grafting.

What to Expect During Treatment

Dr. Orlov will begin with a comprehensive examination and treatment planning session to ensure you’re a good candidate and that you understand the treatment. Our protocol for treatment includes the following:

  • The treatment area is thoroughly numbed for your comfort
  • A tiny pinhole is made in the gum tissue above the affected teeth
  • Special instruments are used to gently loosen the gum tissue
  • The gums are carefully repositioned to cover the exposed root surfaces
  • Tiny collagen strips are placed through the pinhole to stabilize the gum tissue

The entire process typically takes about 1-2 hours, depending on how many teeth are being treated.
