Recover the harmony of your gums with a minimally invasive approach
In Clinica Torres we value each case of gingival recession to determine whether the Pinhole technique is appropriate, seeking to improve the aesthetic of the gums, protect the exposed root and reduce discomfort in a more comfortable and conservative way.
Characteristics of the Penhole technique
Technique used for the gums recession, offers many advantages over traditional procedures.
- Immediate results: This treatment provides an aesthetic improvement that is visible from the first moment, and the small access point is usually cured in 24 hours.
- Rapid recovery: Because the procedure is minimally invasive, patients in general have a rather limited recovery period.
- Indoloro: Because there are no incisions or sutures, and the procedure takes a relatively short period of time, patients refer to minimal discomfort.
TechnicalPenhole
The Penhole surgical technique offers a number of unique benefits and has revolutionized the way we see the treatment of the gums recession. Instead of scalpel, this procedure uses an innovative instrument that creates a small hole in the tissue of the patient’s healthy gum over the area that needs treatment. This small opening serves to accommodate specialized instruments that the doctor will use to gently loosen and expand the gum tissue, covering the exposed areas of the teeth, where soft tissue has been removed.
The moment the tissue of the gums has changed position, some small strips of collagen are put in the treatment area. This will promote the natural production of collagen and elastine, which will promote healing and reduce inflammation. Instead of requiring tissue grafts and sutures, this procedure simply involves adjusting the tissue of the gums already present at the treatment site, with minimal post-operative discomfort and minimal bleeding.
Who can choose this treatment?
Patients with periodontal disease and / or retarded gums who do not wish to go through the traditional gums graft procedure. These patients are aspiring to Penhole treatment. This technique is the first minimally invasive procedure to treat the gums recession effectively. This sutures treatment uses already present tissue of the healthy gum, which is replaced using instruments that act through a very small opening in the gums. The procedure is not annoying and requires a minimum recovery time.

Frequently asked questions
You may suspect gum recession if your teeth appear longer, you experience sensitivity to cold or brushing, the roots become exposed, or you notice changes in the gum line. A periodontal assessment is needed to confirm the recession, measure its extent and evaluate the health of the gums.
Gum recession can be related to periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, thin gums, tooth misalignment, bruxism, smoking or persistent inflammation. Identifying the cause is important in order to choose the right treatment and prevent the recession from progressing again.
Not always. Although it is a minimally invasive technique, each case must be assessed individually. Factors such as the amount of available gum tissue, the condition of the bone, the cause of the recession, periodontal health and the affected area all influence whether this technique is suitable.
Yes, it can recur if the underlying cause is not corrected. That is why, in addition to treatment, it is important to review brushing technique, control periodontal disease if present and attend regular maintenance appointments.
During the first few days, it is important to follow the clinic’s instructions, avoid touching or manipulating the treated area, maintain an adapted oral hygiene routine and attend the scheduled follow-up appointments. The aim is to promote proper healing and protect the repositioned tissue.
Gum recession can progress over time and lead to sensitivity, a greater risk of root wear, aesthetic concerns and reduced protection of the tooth root. Early assessment can help control the problem before it becomes more complex.
