Dr. Ressler is one of the most experienced Pinhole gum surgeons in South Florida. Dr. Chao has even referred patients who live in Florida to Dr. Ressler for performance of his pinhole technique.
Gum recession is the process in which the gum tissue surrounding a tooth wears away, exposing the underlying tooth and bone. When the gum wears away, gaps or pockets develop between teeth that collect food, particles, and bacteria which can cause further infection and further bone and tissue loss.
Top causes of receding gums:
Unfortunately, receding gums do not naturally grow back and there are no natural remedies to regrow gums. Once the gums have been damaged to a certain point, they will no longer rejuvenate without medical intervention.
This gum graft alternative (gum rejuvenation or "lunch-time gum lift") is performed through a tiny pinhole made in the gum well above the teeth. Specialized instruments gently loosen and gradually reposition the gums back to a healthier, more beautiful, and youthful position. Dr. Ressler places soft pieces of resorbable collagen (that gradually melt away) to support and stabilize the new gum line, without using gum grafts.
Published in the International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry in 2012, the technique was found effective, predictable, minimally-invasive, and with an exceptionally high rate of patient satisfaction. Not every patient is a good candidate; a consultation is the best way to find out.
Only a gum specialist can diagnose your gum issue and determine which treatment options are right for you. Sometimes a gum graft is unavoidable; in other cases the Chao Pinhole method can reposition your existing gum tissue instead.
Why correct receding gums? Protect your teeth from further erosion, prevent continued gum recession, reduce sensitivity to hot and cold, rejuvenate your gum line, prevent loosening and loss of teeth, and improve your appearance.

The pinhole technique for gum recession, explained.
"I can highly recommend Dr. Ressler. The results that I had from the Pinhole technique for gum recession that Dr. Ressler performed was amazing. His staff was very professional and extremely helpful when I encountered difficulties in getting mouth x-rays from another dental office. His office is immaculately clean and he takes great effort in maintaining sterile conditions. I give him and his office a five star plus rating."

"I want to thank Dr. Ressler and his group for great dental care. Starting last May, he performed several deep cleanings and gum surgeries for me and was able to save my teeth, gums and smile from advanced periodontal disease. Dr. Ressler, as well as his team are all very gentle and were able to put me at ease during the procedures. Now I am consistently brushing and flossing and have my old smile back. I am very happy with my results."
