Pinhole Surgical Technique PST™ | West Caldwell, NJ

What causes gum recession?

While gum recession is usually viewed as one of the symptoms of gum disease, it can also be caused by insufficient tooth brushing, overly aggressive tooth brushing, or from certain medications that can affect gum health. Gum recession can even be caused by orthodontic treatments and appliances like braces or retainers.

Why choose PST™?

Unlike gum grafting, The Pinhole Surgical Technique PST™ is minimally invasive and does not cut gum tissue.

If you have any concerns about possible gum recession, or are worried about the side effects of gum grafting, contact our office today to schedule an appointment. We will be happy to discuss the details and benefits of The Pinhole Surgical Technique PST™.
