Healthier, More Balanced Gums

On the other end of the spectrum, some patients show too much tooth and not enough gum because of gum recession. This can make the teeth look longer than normal, create sensitivity to hot and cold, and affect the overall appearance of the smile. Left untreated, recession can also lead to more serious dental problems over time.

Dr. Khan offers pinhole surgery for appropriate cases of gum recession. This is a minimally invasive technique that can help improve gum coverage without the more traditional grafting approach. There are no incisions, no sutures, and recovery is typically faster and more comfortable than conventional gum surgery.

It is a wonderful option for patients who want to improve both the health and appearance of their gums without the anxiety of a more invasive procedure. Not every case qualifies, but for those that do, the results can be remarkable.
