Pinhole® Surgical Technique - Scarborough, ON

Reverse Gum Recession with Scalpel-Free Treatment

Minimally Invasive Gum Rejuvenation

If your teeth feel sensitive when exposed to hot or cold temperatures or your teeth appear to be lengthening, you may have gum recession. While the traditional treatment route calls for grafting of the tissue and sutures, our dentists are specially trained in the Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST™). This technique is a much less invasive alternative to gum grafting, eliminating the need to incise the gum tissue in one or more locations. In fact, the Pinhole® Surgical Technique does not require that scalpels or gum grafts be used at all, as the tissue is repositioned by a special tool inserted through a tiny “pinhole” made in the gums. Most patients are pleased to find that the Pinhole® Surgical Technique is almost painless and notice an improvement in the cosmetic appearance immediately following treatment.

Possible Causes of Gum Recession:

PST Can Restore a Natural Gum Line

Before After

The Pinhole Surgical Technique is a treatment process that can often be completed in a single appointment at our dental clinic in Scarborough, ON, even if more than one area has gum recession. Our doctors have received PST training and are equipped with the proper tools to carry out these procedures for our patients. Using specialized tools, we gently reposition the gum tissue back over the tooth roots, then place collagen strips to stabilize the area and encourage new tissue growth. If multiple quadrants have gum recession, the Pinhole Surgical Technique can commonly be used to treat all of these areas during one visit!

Responding to Coronavirus

As The Ministry of Health has begun to lift some restrictions, we are now able to welcome you back! The office is now open to urgent and emergency patients. While many things have changed since then, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to our patients health and safety here at Dentistry at Consilium.

Our office has always followed strict infection control standards and in order to keep us all protected during this pandemic and in the future, we have up taken the following steps to reopening.

A Virtual ” Waiting Room”: You will be asked to wait outside the office when arriving. Please check in via text message or call from outside of the clinic, such as in a car to make sure we are ready for you.

Pre-Screening: You will be asked pre-screening questions over the phone and then again at the time of your appointment. Your temperature will be taken with contactless infra-red thermometer once you arrive.

We ask that all patients arrive wearing a mask.

Our waiting room will no longer offer magazines or children’s toys, as those items are difficult to fully disinfect. Instead there will be hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use upon entering.

Air Filtration: We have installed Hepa air filtration systems to ensure air quality in the operatories.

Please be assured that these measures are designed to create the safest environment for you, other patients and our team.
