What stops the skin from snapping back up? looks like a twice a yr bill to keep pulling it.

[@jessiesheldon-huffey1824]

Does this technique work for patients with advanced periodontal disease? What would happen if while doing this technique, you inserted that gel used to regrow bone in the pocket cavity? Although I have all my teeth a few are getting loose and I am not willing to undergo extractions and implants. looking for alternatives to that.

[@alicialyons3356]

Fascinating.Beautifully done. I hope this is the technique my periodontist uses.

[@ariettyschmidt2129]

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 KZbin 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. The pinhole dentist said they might have been lose before but my main dentist doesn't believe it. No matter how much you wish to find Help: Stay away from this surgery

[@dhidhi1000]

It’s probably not

[@sbinsdca]

Those teeth at the beginning are fake as hell

[@asianstud7]

Lol. That's what I said. That's why you can't go so damn white. Looks fake

[@geneharper1736]

the actual description of the technique is at 1:20

[@bomlife1572]

this pinhole technique looks so simple, why it wasnt developed way earlier

[@user-yb6xn3ut7o]

Doesn't clenching and grinding contribute more to gum recession tha brushing too hard? Also orthodontics and genetics? Thank you for the informative video.

[@carinaekstrom1]

I think clenching and grinding would affect the teeth, not the gums.

[@DNSMLT]

Brushing the wrong way and using a hard toothbrush affect the gums. Don't brush back and forth. "Use circular motions at a 90% angle". I taught oral hygiene years ago. For reference put your hand in a fist. Take your toothbrush and practice where your fingers meet the top of your hand. You'll see how the bristles go between your closed fingers. Brush gently after every meal. Don't use harsh, abrasive, whitening, toothpaste. I also use peroxide. It kills bad bacteria while keeping good bacteria.

[@jes3363]

I have this problem my dentist never told me about this

[@Flaca.602]

What's the main difference between this and flap surgery? (I think that's what it's called)

[@jumbogirlmishti6645]

Plz make video on patient while u r doing this surgery

[@josephrnemeth]

I will keep this in mind for a future video!

[@kekethetoad]

Does new porous bone material form where the gum has been pulled over and bolstered with collagen?

[@nag6711]

Please could you tell me if anyone in Houston TX does this procedure please thank you may God bless you

[@carinaekstrom1]

What's the source of the collagen? Another human or other animal? Or from the patient somehow?

[@debplamann8205]

Do they do this procedure in the state of Minnesota

[@MP57719]

My teeth have shifted over the course of 16 years and I have had some gum recession. One part is particularly in the molars. I feel the problem is uneven loading of my bite. If I had the gum recession corrected, is it advised to have braces again or invisalign to correct the bite distribution? Would bite correction help prevent gum line issues in the future? Would there be concerns over the loss of mandibular bone mass?

[@DNSMLT]

Don't get bite correction before speaking to a periodontist. It can ruin your TMJ.

[@aznboy131]

Usually, you want to do periodontal grafting before orthodontic treatment. However, in a case wherein the periodontal issues are *caused* by hyperocclusion (traumatic bite forces), you want to try to address the traumatic bite first, whether that be with orthodontics (if the problem is due to misalignment of the teeth) or a splint/botox (if the problem is related to a clenching habit). Otherwise, any benefit gained from the periodontal grafting may be eliminated by the persistent bite problem.

[@Konimiru]

Is it painful?

[@josephrnemeth]

Hello! Most people claim that there is little to no pain involved in the Pinhole Technique. Some patients even return to work the next day! If you're interested please feel free to reach out to me directly. [e-mail] I'd be happy to answer any questions.

[@Flaca.602]

It looks painful 😬

[@franceslock1662]

Not everyone can travel to the US.

[@theeraphatsunthornwit6266]

Must be quite painful i guess😅

[@USVIsteve]

Would’ve been better if you wouldn’t of had some salesman talk about it which immediately makes me think it’s bullshit

[@geneharper1736]

so the next question is... COST?? I had a dr. who wanted to do the graph technique on me and it was going to cost $10,000 for my tops of bottom teeth. I didn't have insurance at the time, so I passed on it.

[@josephrnemeth]

I responded to your comment on my other video. However, just to make sure you and others know, the price of the Pinhole Technique is based on how many teeth need to be treated. Sometimes, it costs less than what your graft would have been. I've seen it cost more too... it all depends on what you need! If you'd like me to take a look at your case more closely and give you a better estimate, I would be happy to do so! Feel free to email me directly at [e-mail] I look forward to hearing from you.

[@elizabethcrowley9189]

It’s a pity that non of the dentists or periodontists ever mention the thousands of dollars these procedures cost. Way too much for most people.

[@Applechow-vn5vf]

it's the whole mouth or each tooth?

[@DNSMLT]

Also if the insurance covers it or not.

[@susandaye8146]

Thats why there are no break throughs in dental issues. i see why people lose their teeth, it cost way too much . my brother had the expensive implants, he had them taken out, it was a nightmare. they caused infection and after paying all that money the dentist just didnt care.

[@dhidhi1000]

Cost is not even the issue here, it’s finding someone who does this procedure.

[@GLeon-ov9yu]

Will cost you more to loose your teeth

[@ESLinsider]

I suspect you'd say no, but any chance massaging the gums or rubbing them down gently might help?

[@josephrnemeth]

That actually does help! Try it with a soft bristle toothbrush. Brush down on the upper teeth and up on the lower teeth.

[@kathyrollings2474]

How long does it take for this to work from start to finish? And how many times do you do this pinhole technique?

[@josephrnemeth]

Kathy, I have treated hundreds of patients who suffer from gum recession. The Pinhole procedure is what I am most known for. I was the first dentist in the world to receive the advanced training for the Pinhole Technique. Dr. Chao (the inventor of the PST) also mentioned me in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIDUm5KJhKh7gq8 I have an entire series of videos surrounding this topic that may be of interest to you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKXKqnlvYrmipLs If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!

[@josephrnemeth]

Hi Kathy! I featured you and this question in my recent video! Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoG4aIp6oa5saq8&lc=UgzOaAK6_CNKBbLLHrF4AaABAg

[@raz.s9596]

Hello Joseph, can you explain how the technique works? basically you just pull the gum on the damaged tooth and it fixes itself? no stitches or any surgical treatment?

[@ESLinsider]

Does that collagen dissolve or is that kinda like an implant?

[@greenpony4833]

The term “long in the tooth “ actually comes from horses. You can estimate an adult horse’s age by looking at the teeth length (also the grooves and angle). This was in use long (no pun intended) before there were dentists.

[@cheeks7050]

Does the collagen tissue dissolve or just stay in there forever?

[@sudarshanmandlecha5977]

Pls tell which collagen you use in this case

[@imgouher2786]

Thank you sir and God bless you

[@smilessmiles3009]

don't do it. It doesn't work.

[@josephrnemeth]

What makes you say that? We have had hundreds of successful cases!

[@إلابذكراللهتطمئنالقلوب-ج8و]

wat about the bottom one is it the same ?

[@africandarkie5162]

I wish I could of gotten this treatment my gums are receding so bad but I'm so far away

[@josephrnemeth]

We actually have patients who travel from all over the world to come see Dr. Nemeth! If you're interested in coming in for the treatment, please feel free to reach out to us directly at [e-mail] I look forward to hearing from you!

[@smoakpipe]

Brush down on the upper teeth and up on the lower teeth.

[@sandrag8960]

i did that for years till now, still i lost the gum very fast in the past 2 years@@smoakpipe

[@ClearOutSamskaras]

Not "as we get older". Rather as sub standard oral care has had greater time to compound.

[@Jessaheartbella]

Cost range?

[@itzikalma9959]

You need to sell your house for this treatment, he charges 3000$ per tooth.

Where is your office and how much does it cost for one teeth thx 5 KY%

I really need this, thankyou Dr. I wish you be near to fix my gum and my teeth 😔 I'm from morroco

[@binhminh417]

How much does it cost for the pinhole surgery? Does dental insurance cover it? Thank you.

[@DNSMLT]

Call your periodontist and your insurance company.

[@TheWitness1001]

How much does it cost if you are a cash client? Especially to work on #24.

[@josephrnemeth]

#24 is definitely a harder tooth to work on than others. But I have seen successes on every tooth! I answer your question about the cost of the pinhole in this video :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoG4aIp6oa5saq8&lc=UgzOaAK6_CNKBbLLHrF4AaABAg I hope this helps you!

@@josephrnemeth Yes thanks. I will call your office sometime this week.

[@jumbogirlmishti6645]

Is there any age limits for gum treatment if gum recede wth age

[@josephrnemeth]

There are no age limits to the Pinhole Technique! I have seen patients who are very young and others who are much older.

[@alexfanjulmusic]

Do you think there is someone in Spain who can do your technique?

[@Sam-tq4zj]

Will it bleed under this pinhole procedure?

[@josephrnemeth]

You can expect some minor bleeding and discomfort for a few days to a week. Its much better and less painful than the traditional grafting surgery!

[@davidjacobs8558]

this doesn't work. because the gum recession is due to recession of bone. move gum down is not going to make the bone to grow back. It may look ok for a while, but will not last. so you end up with deep pockets, which will be prone to food getting in there and cause infection, and gum will recede again. it's reverse procedure of normal gum surgery, where they reduce the pocket depth, but expose more teeth.

[@mikcall54]

It's just another dental treatment for the rich and a thing most people that actually need this cannot afford.

[@sandipsharma3776]

I am from india Sir can u pls tell us cost for single teeth? Please so that i can decide to contact u asap for treatment

how much is this treatment for one tooth generally?

[@kamiliaajjaj2149]

Thanks

[@reemkhaled1513]

♥️♥️♥️

[@wakaoeh]

What if I have receding gums as well as black triangles? Is the Pinhole technique able to bring the gums down to cover the tooth root, despite my having the black triangles?

[@josephrnemeth]

In some cases the pinhole technique will cover up the black triangles. However, it heavily depends on your gum tissue and the size of the black triangles. The vast majority of patients who come into my office for recession are good candidates for the pinhole technique.

[@claytonhilliard925]

How does this work for bottom teeth?

[@mrcecilia26]

[@tusharbarman1924]

It's not available in India?

[@josephrnemeth]

There are likely Periodontists or Dentists in India who will do the Pinhole (or a similar) technique.

[@AmandasGlambition]

Can you get a rough estimate on what this procedure may cost someone, please? Thank you 😁

[@kristidavi]

I saw online $600 to $1400 per tooth. That's ridiculous!

[@josephrnemeth]

So, if your entire mouth needs to be treated, it will cost more than if only one area needs to be treated. If you'd like to discuss pricing in more detail, please feel free to contact me directly! [e-mail] I hope this helps 👍🏻

[@TheWitness1001]

@@kristidavi Not ridiculous at all. $600 is quite cheap in dentistry. I was just quoted $1,300 by an office for gum graph on one tooth. (#24) So if I can get this done for the same or a lower price, I am going this route.
