Pinhole Surgery For Gum Recession 

Thanks for this post. I have a tooth where the gum has receded badly and I am actually have pain around the gum line and where the root is exposed. A sharp needle like pain that comes and goes. My gum around the area is very sore. I am seeing my dentist on Monday but I am worried that if I don't get this fixed I will lose the tooth. I have already lost 3 teeth and had to pay for (with a loan from my Dad) 3 dental implants and it is not cheap, let me tell you. Plus you have to wait month to heal before you get the actual porcelain tooth placed and its a painful procedure. I really don't want to go through that again, so if a gum flap type surgery is best over this pinhole technique then I want to hear about it.

Thank you for this review.

@@cat52hi, was ur recessing gum resolved? If so, plz share the procedure and aftercare. Thnx!

What went wrong?

I paid 6500€ for pinhole surgery and lost all my money and have a worse situation than before. I lost more gum after a few weeks. I didn't find many comments on RU-vid maybe they get deleted. But i searched the Internet and found a thread where many people write they lost thousands of dollars or euros and for nothing. it, The surgery itself was very brutal and painful torture. I also found comments from professionals on the Internet who warn people, one doctor had it done on himself and ist warning people not to do it. My Front lower teeth got lose from the surgery and i found a comment from another person who wrote the same. I followed post-op instructions and had antibiotics but after i read all this comments from frustrated patients i think pinhole surgery is a scam.

4 months later, how's it look or feel?

How are you now

I’ll add, the 2nd perio I went to does not offer Pinhole. He thought about doing it at one point, but decided it just isn’t as good as traditional grafting.

How much were the two kinds of treatment ?

@@spongequeenie $8,000 for pinhole, included top and bottom arch. Traditional free gingival graft was $2,500 per quadrant or $10,000 for whole mouth

@@kaydenkrypto5748 did ur gum graft stay in place ? No more recession?

@@robertovides3691 Gum graft has been great, much better root coverage than Pinhole, no further recession.

I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I love any tips you can give me.

@Luka Elliot instablaster ;)

@Abdullah Danny Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Abdullah Danny it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D

@Luka Elliot No problem =)

How's your progress coming along?

I have heard of him, I think he is very good at what he does

I'm thinking of going with a gum graft now, but before this video I was wanting pinhole surgery. I need to look into it more.

@@whocares7912 Please don't go through Pinholes. I did it two months ago. I had other two surgeries after the pinholes. I am stil stressed. The recovery is not over. It was a very hard experience and I don't see the result yet.

@@marilenalupusoru8526 Poor you 😡. I've decided to go for a gum graft if I have anything done, but to be honest, I'm thinking of leaving it. I think a gum graft would be better though because you're adding rather than stretching. I know that people who are happy with their pinhole surgery are less likely to post on here but I just have a feeling in most cases it's not successful. I hope you get it sorted because it sounds horrible.

@@whocares7912 The videos that promote this technique ate not telling the truth. They are hiding the main things. I paid 9000$ for what? I hade almost 10 visits at the office and I don't know yet what is next. My gum now is exact like before the surgery. The whole process was done on the lip. Now I have a scar on the lip, tightness and numbness in the lower part of the mouth. My face doesn't look the same. Why I was not told about this?

@@marilenalupusoru8526 Awful. The guy who invented it should be sued, plus your dentist that did the procedure on you. I might start a Facebook group for this you know.

Any update? How are you now?

I NEED THIS ASWELL

Nah LANAP isn't ground breaking either.

not enough info is there Kris! i would like to know what collagen is made from too

@@shabsa2637 I've decided on a gum graft because I don't trust the pinhole technique: what's pulled down surely has to go back up again so I'd rather add my own skin from the roof of my mouth. Dreading it though.

@@whocares7912 any update? How was the procedure?

You may be a vegan, but you are also an animal. : )

😆 🤣 😂 😹

Hi Mr John Would u mind to give me some information about the place u went in 🇹🇷 pls

No. Pinhole is expensive than the traditional treatment

I've read an article in the journal of california dental association and it seems like pinhole isn't groundbreaking, but seems okay compared to the other techniques.

I agree the NDA signing sounds shady. And the fact that they promote this surgery as a lunch break surgery is not very professional imo. Especially when you read the post op recommendations saying you can't brush or eat normal foods for over one month...

"Research is currently in progress to further examine the effi cacy, predictability, limitations and long-term stability of PST. In conclusion, many treatment modalities are available for the purpose of root coverage, and PST is yet another treatment option for clinicians to consider."

How did it go bro any new news

@@polbzh Yes, how did it go?

Will NHS cover it?

@@mango-strawberry nooooo

@@dolphinbleu i see

Don't tell him where I am! 🤣🤣

Wondering the same thing!

I did say he frm London lol Pay tension to the video darling

@@foxhall4720 my question is if he is in London which part of London is he based? Understand my question please

You said which part of UK, not London….

Marlow, near London, SL7

@@foxhall4720 He is not in London

He said somewhere in London

East i think

Yoo go to Stanford dental school. I believe Cali must have the most amount of options you can find. It's the richest state in the US.

What about the result please???

@@dolphinbleu not great
