Receding gums can expose the roots of your teeth, making them more sensitive and vulnerable to damage. At San Diego Smile Center, we offer pinhole gum surgery in Mira Mesa, a modern and minimally invasive treatment designed to correct gum recession and restore a healthier gumline. This advanced technique helps improve both the function and appearance of your smile without the need for traditional gum graft surgery.
Gum recession may occur due to factors such as gum disease, aggressive brushing, genetics, or natural aging. When gums pull away from the teeth, the exposed roots can become sensitive and more susceptible to decay. Pinhole gum surgery gently repositions the gum tissue to cover these areas and protect the teeth.
Traditional treatments for gum recession often involve grafting tissue from another part of the mouth, which can require sutures and a longer healing period. Pinhole gum surgery offers a less invasive alternative by using your existing gum tissue to restore the natural gumline.Because the procedure involves only a small entry point in the gum tissue, patients typically experience less discomfort and a faster recovery than with conventional gum graft procedures. This makes it an appealing option for many individuals seeking treatment for gum recession.

Your treatment begins with a detailed examination of your gums and teeth. Once the area is numbed with local anesthesia, a very small opening is created in the gum tissue near the affected tooth.
Through this tiny opening, specialized instruments are used to gently loosen and reposition the gum tissue over the exposed tooth roots. Small collagen supports may be placed to help stabilize the gum tissue during healing. Because no cutting or stitching is required, the procedure is typically comfortable and efficient.

Pinhole gum surgery does not require stitches, which can help simplify the healing process.
Many patients recover more quickly compared to traditional gum graft procedures.
Covering exposed roots can help decrease sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods.
