A Modern, Minimally Invasive Treatment for Gum Recession
What Is Pinhole® Surgical Technique?
We are delighted to welcome Dr Evdokia Chasioti, a specialist periodontist trained in the Pinhole® Surgical Technique, an advanced, minimally invasive approach to treating gum recession.
Unlike traditional gum grafting, the Pinhole® technique involves no cutting, no stitches, and no donor tissue. Through a tiny pinhole opening, the gum tissue is gently repositioned to cover exposed tooth roots, helping to restore a healthier, more natural gumline.
