- If you have gum recession, there is now a revolutionary new treatment method available.
Feel free to call 248-671-6932 we would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
As we get older, it's common to experience receding gums and it may be referred to as getting long in the tooth. Gum recession has many different causes, and when the gum tissue recedes, it is advantageous to get it treated.
What Causes Gum Recession?
Genetics
Orthodontic Treatment
Vigorous/Frequent Toothbrushing
Clenching/Grinding Teeth
Irritation from Crowns/Fillings
Over-exposure to strong chemicals such as tooth whitening peroxide
What are the consequences of gum recession?
Unattractive smile
Increased tooth decay
Increased sensitivity
Loss of tooth structure
Tooth loss
How to repair gum recession?
Many periodontists still do gum grafts, where they take gum tissue from the palate (or the roof of the mouth) and use that tissue to repair the area of gum recession.
This often times gum grafting can be very painful, disfiguring, and can take months to heal completely. Also the number of teeth that can be treated is limited to the amount of gum tissue that an be removed from the palate.
As a matter of fact, I had a patient who had 2 unsuccessful gum grafts underneath his tongue. I was able to use the modified pinhole technique to restore the area even though there was excessive scar tissue.
With the Pinhole Surgical Technique, we can treat as many teeth as we want in the mouth. We can treat one tooth or 30 teeth, there is no limit.
Dr. Joseph Nemeth is a periodontist in Southfield, MI that offers the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ as a noninvasive treatment option for patients with receding gums.
Just recently, I had a patient that flew in from South Korea to have the Pinhole Surgical Technique and she was thrilled with the results. We treated almost every tooth in her mouth and the results turned out fantastic.
This technique is minimally invasive, meaning there is little or no pain. There is often no cutting or stitching needed and seeing the success of this procedure has been very, very gratifying.
So if you feel your gums receding, or if you feel sensitivity, don't wait until it progresses too far! Get your receding gums treated because if you have a healthy mouth, you will have a healthier body, I guarantee it!

Wish I was in the position to have you fix all my mouth and teeth problems. 😞
Me too
Oh my god this explains a lot. I have gum recession and I saw a dentist today. He told me I had thin gums, I brush my teeth too hard, and I had major orthodontic treatment
You check off all the boxes!
Im glad I found you. I will be setting an appointment soon. I have gum recession on the right side of my mouth really bad and it is indeed a combined result of genes and well as orthodontics when I was a teen. I was so worried that this would be painful and that is why I've put it off for so long. You have really put my mind at ease.
Have you followed up with the Dr. yet? I am curious of the results
Please describe the pin hole recession technique.
Hi Dr. Nemeth, thank you for your informative videos. What I wanted to know was, does this technique work for those who also have significant bone loss where the interdental papilla is blunted? I have seen your video on the LANAP laser and its ability to generate new bone tissue and I was wondering if this technique can be used together with the LANAP to restore the dentition. Also, I live in Southern California and I am having a very hard time finding dentists who practice these two procedures. Is there a resource I can go to to find out if there are dentists close to me who provide these services? Thanks so much in advance for your help. I truly enjoy your videos.
Thanks Maria .... do u gargle or take it as a mixture ? And what is a Qtip cover ?
I would love to have one of those treatments
Dr. Nemeth, thank you so very much for your videos! I believe educating patients, in any field of medicine & dental health helps patients understand 'why' we should be doing, pertaining to what is recommended by our health care professionals. I am sure you are aware of the studies that suggest patients become more eager & play a more pro-active role in their health issues when they understand the scientific process involved. I do! On that note, as a patient, I try to educate myself on dental health issues because I want to do what is best for my mouth, thus my body. I am not an over brusher but, I do have a meticulous dental routine very similar to your video recommendations & WANT to learn all I can. That's where you videos come in & they are the BEST! For the first time in my life, this East coast lady & mom, wished they lived in Michigan! Happy New Year to you & your family! Best dental & overall health to you all!! My genuine GRATITUED!
Thank you so much for your kind words Rufus! I am happy to help.
Incredible what can be done today, and this was even two years ago!
Thank you so very much for the video
Informative
Thank you
You're very welcome!
I sure wish I lived closer to your practice.
We have patients who fly from all over the world to come see us!
Can you please elaborate about this "pinhole technique" and the cost involved?
Thank you
Doc , you are amazing 😘 all the best 😎 Its a pleasure to listen such a wise And experienced Dentist 💐
I live in Ann Arbor and I’m terrified of dentists because of the level of pain my gum recession causes during cleanings and how many hygienists dont take it seriously. One even laughed while I was yelping every time she touched it. Praying that you’re taking new patients on now. Four of my bottom front teeth hurt so bad and the top left side of my mouth seems to have a never ending bad smell from a crown that other dentists have said nothing is wrong with. I need the help desperately but I’m so scared 😞
Wonderful! I live in London, United Kingdom. Where can I get the treatment, please?
Can you make a recommendation for someone who provides this pin hole technique in Dallas Texas or surrounding areas
Ive never had gum recession, but in the last weeks at the cleaning it was discovered at 4 back teeth and since the cleaning I am in so much pain. I havent been able to chew for a week now. My dentist said I caused it by using a soft brush, the dental plaque didnt get cleaned properly. Now Im trying to get pinhole treatment here in Germany, if you have any recommendations :)
Thanks you dr.how to youz vitamin c
Hello doctor, I am shocked after watching your video and with results, it's amazing, I am a dentist too I live in Uzbekistan, may I take your contact doctor? I would like come to you and pay for your lessons and learn
How long does the pin hole technique usually last?
Hi, could I do it after LANAP or before, or instead? Thank you
So the skin graft from the top pállate is the last resort for patients? Which would u recommend first? Pinhole technique ?
I wish you showed how you do the pinhole procedure

@@josephrnemeth thank you
Hi Doctor, how long do the results of the pinhole technique last, assuming that the patient then begins taking good care of the renewed gums? I had a consultation with a periodontist about this technique a few years ago, but she couldn't give me great answer because there hadn't been many cases that were more than a few years post operation (due to this being a fairly new procedure). Are the effects of the pinhole technique projected to last permanently?
we still waiting for an answer
Hey doc I was wondering on my couple teeth that’s starting to Receed and My confidence start to lack was wondering if u can help me out?
His contact information is in the description right under the video.
just call the office and make an appointment with him.
Aloha, yes, what is the pinhole technique? Where do you practice?
Will pin hole technique causes damage your gums ? Will it hit the nerve endings of the gums when you do the pinhole in the gums affected ? Thanks
Thanks for sharing Dr. Nemeth, you rock!
I'm aby from Philippines I just fount out I have periodontitis case. And I lost bones. Can loose teeth can be saved? Or need extraction.. Your reply is a big help. Thank you.
I've lost so many teeth due to receding gums. Love to know if it'll still work on the teeth I have left n what the cost are n if insurance covers it?
Yes - What is the “Pinhole” Technique?
Please doctor i have the same problem what can i do or use
Tks so much!
You're welcome!
Can stem cells help in gingivitis recession?
Thanks doc 👍😁
You're very welcome Valeria
Does the pin hole technique stay/last?
I had pinhole surgery a year ago, and so happy with it. The best part was how painless and quickly it was. I can't imagine doing gum graft surgery. Some people mentioned the price; however, remember these are your teeth. An implant will be as costly as the pinhole surgery.
How much are we talking about? $5k per teeth?
I'm serious considering the pinhole. I have great insurance but I need to ask them about pinholing coverage. Do you mind if you had insurance and if so what out of pocket expenses did you incur?
@@davitamcwilliams8998 have you figured this out?
@@namesarefakeandmadeup8083 All these people like Nestor and Daviata who love to make comments but never reply questions to help others. Not sure why they post comments.
I paid 6500€ for pinhole surgery in Austria and lost all my money and have a worse situation than before. I didn't find many comments on UA-cam 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. They all regret it. I only found two comments from ppl who said it has slightly improved but hundrets who regret it. I shouldn't have done it, it's one of the biggest regrets of my life and i cry everyday because it's so much worse than before. The dentist said it's a bad result but didn't really care. 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. Other ppl write they lost teeth or had nerve damage and the gum looks like before.
The pinhole dentist said my teeth might have been lose before but my main dentist doesn't believe it. They were strong. No matter how much you wish to find Help: Stay away from this surgery!
Thanks 😊
Hello sir.. Does the pinhole technique be applied for class 3 or class 4 recessions?
I am glad I came upon this video for about 5 years now I had one tooth that I felt had a lot of gum recession which seemed to have started post pregnancy but my dentist never mentioned anything to help then recently I found I had 2 cavities so far only had one filled but it was a horrible experience and not it seems like I’m getting more recession along with more cavities popping up or wear on my teeth. I’m thinking it’s time to switch my dentist
I would love to see you in my office Ruth! However, if you can't make it, check out the videos on my page. They will definitely help you get a better understanding of how to take care of your teeth and gums.
Where can I find a dentist like u in Massachusetts n practices like you thank you
How much does this cost on average?
Why is mostly the whole top row really big and Dr. Nemeth, how does the gum like move away from the tooth is it because your eating to much suger or your not brushing your teeth?
I have noticed rapid gum recession over the past 3 months that even my dentist was surprised about, he checked all my teeth and said there were no problems whatsoever my teeth and gums were very clean and in excellent condition, however I was diagnosed with Ankolosing Spondylitis a few years ago and started a immune suppressant injection last year, could this be the cause.
Do "Oral probiotics" help to maintain healthy teeth and gums? And does pinhole surgery have a long term positive result if the patient take a good care of his/her gums and teeth? Or can gum recession happen again even after the surgery?
How do we find local dentist that do this technique?
Doc can i do oil pulling if i have uncovered healing implant. I dont think they put a healing cap on it. Is it safe or can the oil loosen the inplant because its metal? Can the oil leak down into the bone and implant screw?
Well.
I just discovered that I have 3 of the risk conditions.
I had orthodontics 10 years ago.
My mother and her siblings all had receding gums.
And I clinch my teeth while sleeping.
At least I discovered it early with only one tooth.
What can i eat and how long till i can eat normally after this?
Doctor, I may be considering a trip to your state. I had a gum recession and an exposed root on an upper molar after previous poor brushing technique. I went to a periodontist who told me that even if he used pinhole, that because of some enamel loss, he wouldn't be able to bring my gum down enough to attach to my tooth.
So he recommend that my dentist fill that at the gum line, which I had done. While my root is now covered, my sensitivity is better but not completely gone. And Im worried that because i never pulled the gum back down that the gum could possibly get worse as I get older (my brush technique is good now but I still worry)
Do you ever recommend filling on the front gum line to patients? Am I right to want a second opinion?
show me the full procedure
I have receding gums,but how much does it cause to fix it.
Hello, my gums are generally OK except for a part above one tooth. This part heavily bleeds even when I lightly brush it. It hurts so much when I brush it as well. Afterwards, the bleeding stops and it becomes white. Any ideas on what it is and what I should do?
What is the source of the collegen strips that are used in the pinhole technic? From Animal or plant ?
From your penus
@@Sh0n0 lol what
@@Sh0n0 😂
The clue is in the word collagen.
The cause of gum loss is bone loss. Whether orthodontic settling or trauma from occlusion, the bone loss around teeth lead to gum loss and recession. Gum tissue needs to be supported by bone. You can increase the thickness and stablize some gum loss with graft or pinhole technique but if the bone is not rebuilt or tooth angulation corrected with orthodontics, the gum graft will turn into pockets that will later cause problems and periodontal disiease issues. you never have gum recession without bone loss.
Thank you for clarity Dr. O
Greets from Hungary!
The first one talk about repetition of brushing is harmful. Thank you for that.. every where I find them said (brush twice a day at least) so I prefer to be higher than the less!
My top left molar has a deep filling and tooth root exposed at the gum line. My dentist is going to put a crown. Should i go somewhere else, i dont think the crown will help
hi how much cost for pinhole?
Hello, I do have a gum recession of 1 mm or so on one lower central incisor, on the labial side, and I am not sure if it is because of the braces or brushing technique, what do you think?
@@josephrnemeth thank you so much, I sure will take yohr advice in other videos on brushing techniques and try to avoid further progression
Sri super information
Hi I did xray on 1 of my bottom molars and there is a black shadow in between the bottom tooth like in between the 2 bones of the tooth is this an abssess? It also hurts sometimes when I bite
what exactly is the pinhole technique? the results are impressive....ok checking prev. vids. thank you
Yes we have a few other videos that describe the Pinhole Technique in detail. ua-cam.com/video/GDBcQkXDCPM/v-deo.html

Can you give any names of dentists that does the pin hole technique in southern Minnesota? Thank you
Dr. Chao has a list of Pinhole Approved dentists from all over the world! I think this link may help you. pinholesurgicaltechnique.com/find-a-dentist/
Wish I could afford all the treatment.
Can a water flosser result in gum recession? I use it with milder water stream though.
Ι also wonder about it cause in a greek forum a girl said that she did not buy one cause her dentist told her it cause recession! But i don't know if its true!
Hi there, this is a very interesting procedure. Can I know if patients’ gums and teeth are properly cleaned prior to pulling their gums down in this pinhole surgical technique? Wouldn’t that make sense or the gums will be pulled down to cover all the culprits that cause periodontal disease?
they seem having some techniques to deep clean that area first and then do this pinhole?
Yet, how is the exact execution which I'm not so sure?
My lower three front teeth had tarter and it was removed but now the roots are exposed my gums in the back look like bone loss. Can it be repaired?
Thanks 🌻
You're welcome!
Is a waterpik good to use? I have been using one for 3 months and I like it. What number should I set it on?

So glad he said orthodontics. I wore braces from age 12-15 and I had a feeling that that played a major role in my gum recession.
Yes Alli, it is extremely common. I would say about 70% of my recession patients have had orthodontic treatment in the past. Most people don't know the risks until it's too late!
Gum recession after braces doesn't affect children but only adults.
I inquired about the cost couple yrs ago but I guess depends on a visit to his office..
We like to make sure we are giving you an accurate estimate! So, if your entire mouth needs to be treated, it will cost more than if only one area needs to be treated. The price range is listed here in this video.

Does anyone aware that those ppl who accepted pinhole lost papilla gum for the area of pinhole, compared with before and after?
Is the problem or inevitable effect from pinhole? For traditional gum grafting, do they also have this problem?

My swollen gums brought me here. Also, i noticed some parts of my gums is receding...huhuhu. I dont know if it is due to my brushing or due to my braces. I just had brace 2 months ago and my orthodontist did not explain to me the consequence or complication of having braces. Im seeing a periodontist in a week so I hope everything will be ok. I’ve read in one of ur comments in ur previous video abt the waterpik. Wondering if I could buy it as im living outside US. Thank you very much for great videos! Very helpful! God bless
Joseph R Nemeth DDS & Associates I agree with you my orthodontist only explains the basics about braces and stuff. I asked my doctor and he said that I could just use a waterpik and nothing about flossing
You should be able to buy a Waterpik online! They are very affordable and great for your oral health! Thanks for commenting.
I live in the UK just looked online for gum recession omg it’s going to cost £700 per tooth!! I don’t understand this sort of treatment only wealthy people can afford!!
It's sad and ridiculous.
I feel like ALL dental procedures are extremely difficult for most people to afford. 😞
@@merncat75 You are right brother. We who belongs to middle class family couldn't afford any of the treatment.
That's not that bad at all. start saving your money sucker!
Im sure thats also for the older type of procedure where you graft tissue in. This is probably more expensive
Where clinic
Where does this doctor lives !? I have a gum recession and would like to visit him. I live in Kenya
How to cure gums that the tooth has been pooling away please answer this my gum is realy hurt please

What type of insurance you guys accept?.. I really would love you guys to help me.. I have bone & gum lost this is really depressing 😭😭please help.. 🙏🏻
Yes it's really depressing but some people don't care even my fucking dentist
Can’t afford to get mine repaired. To high dollar for me.
question please why when the Bone downturn or shrink the gum olso shrink why doesn't stay in it place ? why the gum follow the Bone recession ?
I’m only a teenager and I have braces but I noticed a few days ago that there are like a line of gum missing on my front bottom teeth. I only brush my teeth twice a day and I’ve never had cavities and the dentist always compliments my teeth but I do brush pretty hard.
Dear Dr. Nemeth, I have gum recessions at upper 5+6 molars after orthodontic treatment. I was told, that it is difficult to make a gum lifting in molars region. Actually I found only very few videos about gum and bone reconstruction in molar area after orthodontics or as result of parodontitis. I asked german periodontists (over UA-cam) if a pinhole technique with bone filling exists. Normally pinhole technique uses collagen stripes to fill the gum. But a essential problem of gum recession is the behind lying bone recession. And simple gum lifting with soft tissue filling seems like a pure cosmetic operation. And without new bone the gum may recess after some time ? I could imagine to yield some bone mush by drilling into the massive upper hip bone and filling this living hip bone mush into the pinhole. But it is unclear if hip bone cells can transform to sense full alveolar bone to reconstruct a healthy parodont. My question to You is: Are there any sense full methods of doing gum lifting with alveolar bone reconstructions ? Regards: Wolfgang Renner
Hello Wolfgang, great question. If someone has minor bone loss and recession, simply covering the recession and reinforcing the soft tissue with collagen is enough to reverse it. This will stop the sensitivity and make the gums thicker and healthier. However, if someone has severe gum recession and severe bone loss, we may recommend bone grafting along with the Pinhole Technique. It is impossible to tell without seeing your case, but yes in some cases it may be beneficial to correct the gum recession and reconstruct the bone. It may need to be done in two separate procedures, or it may be done all at the same time. It really depends on the individual case, what is causing the bone loss, how much bone is left, etc.
Thanks for commenting, I hope this helps.
@@josephrnemeth : Dear Dr. Nemeth, thank You for answering. You can visit my UA-cam channel. There is a long video about an architectural idea for an educational and cultural building (SchlossFuenfeck2019Neu). There are a couple of pictures scattered in, which shows my orthodontic problem. 1975 I came as 12 years old boy to an orthodontist. A 4*4 extraction should be done, but I didn't understand the sense of the treatment. Resulting in extracting upper jaw 2*4 and in lower jaw a middle incisor. This was bullshit and only done because insufficient pedagogic. The result was bad, and I made a second orthodontic treatment 1994 as 32 years adult. Therewith the overbite was partly lifted and the lower three incisors could be moved to straight line. The bite lifting was done with the upper braces anchored at the 6-Molars. This Molars where not moved, but using them as anchor resulted in (severe) bone lost, showing immediately after orthodontic treatment as long teeth. The orthodontist said it came from teeth brushing. But this was only to cover the true reason. Better would be to use some headgear (J-Hooks) to gain anchor forces for lifting the front. But there was no talking about it. It didn't make any further treatments on my teeth up to now. Currently the recessions becomes little larger and also "age" parotontitis starts in light amount. Because looking the UA-cam videos I understand now much more about this theme. The second treatment 1994 betters the front teeth position but the back molars position became worse. Before the treatment the upper 8-molar bite on the lower 7-8 molar area. But after the treatment the 8-molars standing too far outside, not really reaching the lower molars. All 7 & 8 molars got no brackets and where not included in the treatment. It was again a bad quality treatment. Currently I am 57 years old and inquire the question if a third orthodontic treatment could rise the overbite further and adjust the back molars to better position. But because I am now an old man with beginning parodontal age decay, a third treatment must be accompanied with anti-parodontitis treatment and with reconstractive recession lifting. But for my age it looks still quite nice. Seeing UA-cam videos teaches me, that periodontal problems can be much more severe then my case. But if I would start any third treatment I want to plan best cooperation of orthodontical fine adjustment with periodontal treatments. In my video it is easy to scroll to the drawn models showing my case. There are also some discussions about extraction therapy in general. The 4*4 extraction result in smallest teeth movements. But most patients feel it as lazyness strategy for orthodontists for getting higher profits in saving working time. I have a problem with hampered nose breathing. And in the case of mouth breathing, it is said to avoid extractions to motivate better skull growing. But expansion therapies (palate expander etc.) are regarded to traumatize the paradont resulting in later recessions. This are all things which I am investigating. More general and academical and not only to cure any invisible molar problem. But the question remains: How to treat a 6-molars recession with bone reconstrucion ? Sometimes the mucoderm tissue is filled in tunnelings. Could it be possible to fill such an tissue with bone minerals, which are often used as bone growing support ? This means my question tries also to discuss future developments and to find a best solution for cases like I have. Regards: Wolfgang Renner
