Pinhole Surgery in Barrie, ON

Restore Your Gum Health Without Traditional Surgery

What Is Pinhole Surgery?

The Benefits of Pinhole Surgery

Patients choose pinhole surgery because it offers:

  • Immediate cosmetic improvement to the gumline
  • No need for cutting or stitches
  • Faster recovery and minimal discomfort
  • Treatment of multiple teeth in a single appointment
  • Stronger protection for tooth roots against sensitivity and decay

It’s a safe, proven technique designed with your comfort in mind.

Why Treat Gum Recession?

Gum recession isn’t just a cosmetic concern—it can also affect your oral health.

Exposed tooth roots are more vulnerable to sensitivity, cavities, and even tooth loss if untreated.

Pinhole surgery helps restore gum coverage, improve oral health, and protect your teeth for the long term.

You may have mild swelling or tenderness, but most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours.

How soon will I see results?

Results are immediate—the gumline is repositioned during your appointment, giving your smile an instant cosmetic improvement.

Who is a good candidate for pinhole surgery?

Patients with mild to moderate gum recession who want a minimally invasive option are often ideal candidates. We’ll confirm this during your consultation.

How long do results last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, results from pinhole surgery can last for many years.

Is pinhole surgery covered by insurance?

Coverage varies. Some plans may include it if gum recession is affecting your oral health. We’ll check your benefits and explain your options.pin
