5-25k??? WTF thats insane. How can it cost more than a tooth implant? You literally poke holes in the gum, pull down the gums and insert little pins to keep them down. That shouldn't be more than a $500 procedure.
Hi , I'm 18 years old with mild gum recession from brushing hard. I was at a dentist who told me that I don't need to go to a periodontist, but in one tooth I can see the bone and I think the receding needs to be treated with some kind of surgery. I live in Israel and soon I will have to go to the army until the age of 21, what do you suggest I do? Shouldn't I listen to the dentist and go to a gum specialist? to visit you in a few years? I asked a dentist and he said receding gums shortens the life span of the teeth, I'm really worried...
Don't go, I found out the hard way that most dentists Over treat. If it's not painful and doesn't look terrible, leave it alone! If that starts to change, then you probably wanna see what you can do.
I spoke to my excellent periodontist about pinhole surgery just yesterday. She basically said it's a scam - an expensive one - that doesn't come close to doing what it promises.
@@roxiebrotsky13 yeah, I was kinda surprised by that. I'm going to a dental school, however I am in the faculty practice and he's the head of the department, if that means anything. Not nearly as expensive as going to a regular Periodontist though, so there's that. I'm going to Case Western Dental.
I have done the pinhole surgery in Austria Vienna and paid 6500€ and the operation was extremely brutal and my gum is worse then before after 6 weeks. There are hundrets of comments from people on the Internet who lost all their money and have the same gum problems as before because it didn't work. Even a doctor who had it done on himself and followed post op instructions very carefully wrote that his gum has gone half year after the operation. My lower teeth got lose directly after the operation and the Dentist said they probably were lose before but they weren't and my main dentist was shocked about the situation and doesn't believe the pinhole dentist because he shouldn't have done an operation on lose teeth. They were strong before. Another person on the Internet (from US) wrote that her lower teeth also got lose from the pinhole surgery. She wrote she regrets having heard of this surgery and so do i. It's one of the biggest regrets in my life and i cry everyday
@ariettyschmidt2129 I'm so sorry this happened to you. I am definitely going to trust my periodontist and stay away from it. Shameful that so much is promised.
Thanks for great dental intel. After watching your videos I referred myself to a periodontist, Dr Megan Ratliff in Glenview, IL, who is LANAP certified. She spoke very highly of you. Glad I don't need LANAP yet or pinhole technique. I'm getting SRP Scaling & Root Planing done every 3 months to treat periodontitis that my dentist says I don't have! He didn't refer me to a periodontist despite the fact I had increased sensitivity. My gums weren't bleeding but most of my pockets are 2-5 and two are 6-7! Thank goodness I saw your videos and referred myself. I'm doing Stellalife antimicrobial rinses 3 x day & bought a new Waterpik too. You're awesome! I'll be going to a new dentist that my periodontist recommended!
@Kitkat Thank you I wish they were all that good! I had 1 root canal already & going to endodontist tomorrow for xray & check up! I have 1 dental implant from eating popcorn so I'm never eating that again. Periodontist said that happens all the time.

Sorry to hear that, I'm also from Vienna. I changed my diet and read many things about diet, metabolism, food and gum, and somehow it helped a little bit. I need to say my gum disease was not at the end-level but still annoying. Bleeding, Inflammation, lose teeth and so on and so on. Now I started to read a book called "it's all in your mouth". His podcast and IG videos are very interesting. Also interesting a dentist called Dr Valerie Kanter. But as said, I'm not having troubles with it as it is almost irreparable. Thankfully, so I'm not really giving advice just telling what helped me. I wish you good luck and especially that you get over your problems soon. I'm very sorry to read what happened to you. It's unbelievable hard to find good dentists and not some butcher. All the Best!!!
Does it fix the periodontal issue? Once there is bone loss and some lost teeth is there any chance of helping? I have seen the Lazer treatment and wonder if that is a better option.
I believe Dr. Nemeth says that the two are separate. For gum “ disease” , he suggests the LANP laser. It will essentially destroy the parasites and bacteria that are harboring in pockets and crevices causing the gum tissue to recede and therefore causing your bone density to shrink as well. IF you only have gum recession WITHOUT periodontal disease… ( think tooth grinding, tongue ring, brushing too hard) then the pinhole surgery will thicken the gum tissue allowing the root to be covered. So the primary reason for the laser is to kill the parasites and bad bacteria, allowing for healthy gingiva. AN ADDED beneficial side effect of the laser is bone density Re growth. But Dr. Nemeth has mentioned it is not 100%. Hope this helps clear up things.
Hello Doctor by any chance do you know if any doctors in the West Palm Beach area that do the Pinhole procedure? I had braces when I was younger and my gums are receding my teeth are sensitive?
Dear God!!! Up to 25k USD?!?!? The logical behind all the procedure must be: the more simple it is, the more expensive it cost! Or Am I wrong? I mean, there is a lot of people suffering with gum recession and how many of them can afford this little big fortune? Sorry guys, but it doesn’t make sense for me.
Please respond. I have seen 3 periodontists, including the one you recommend in Florida. Well, the son who works with him. I have some recession, but every one says it's too minor to do anything, but the roots are definitely exposed throughout. And they are sensitive. Why do you say that needs to be treated if the roots are exposed but the perios say no treatment required. Also, on your lingual pictures, what happened to the lady with the tongue ring? The tissue on the after is very decreased in volume. Especially in the interdental aspects.
Maybe they do not recommend as there are risks to worsen your reccesion? I know that gum surgery is very delicate stuff to do and it often doesn't work in the end.
I think you are great; I wish I lived in MI. I've have peridontal diease (advanced) for many years and now my teeth have some play in them. The dentist I recently saw recommends having them extracted and having a stay plate made. I'm old school and believe if the tooth can be saved to save it I would have to have 4 teeth extracted at one time and that's not high on my too do list. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Respectfully.
@@HelderP1337 I’m 32 and I got 20 emax laminate veneers. They barely touched my teeth. I got them done in Los Angeles. I love them. My gums were just angry now they are beautiful
@@itsaaronlolz what caused your gum recession in the first place? I'm 38 and I think I screwed it all up by putting braces, the orthodontist is leaning teeth forward and I'm getting a lot of recession. I'm dying of anxiety here man.
@@HelderP1337 I don’t have gum recession. I think my gums are sensitive to etching and adhesive. I have a crown in the back and it also has a little hole of missing gums. The rest of my teeth are fine.
I feel screwed. I'm 39 and I've been chewing since I was 13 or 14. For most my adult life I been chewing like 2 to 4 tins of chew a day. I avoided going to the dentist for 20 years and I recently started going to the dentist again. I'm disabled and on ssdi, I have unitedhealth care dual complete for insurance and I get like $3,500 a year for dental. So it sounds like there is no way I could have this pinhole surgery to repair the gum damage I've put myself through by my heavy tobacco use. I've been trying to quit tobacco for over a year and now that I can't chew tobacco without serious pain I'm down to like a tin a day or less. It's been a real struggle and battle to get off tobacco for me but I know it's time to eliminate the tobacco for good.. Is there any way that the pinhole surgery can be spaced out over years? Like just do a few areas every year instead of doing it all at once? I know I can't afford 5 grand let alone 25 grand but I'd like to get my gums fixed. Thank you for your videos, I just found your channel last night and I've been watching your content most of the day. I am learning a lot
@@HelderP1337 Exactly. As others have pointed out, try to find periodontal residents affiliated with University Dental schools. The residents are qualified dentists and are in residency to become periodontists. They work under licensed supervision. It's usually much cheaper.
Could a (plastic) night guard have contributed to my gum recession? The latter did start after I started to wear it but, unfortunately, I put two and two together when I already had a significant gum recession twenty years later. The guard was pushing my gums to the point I felt uncomfortable but I still wore it every night for all these years. Now my new dentist says I need a hard night guard to prevent my recession to get even worse (and it’s pretty bad now). I’m panicking, as I imagine how it will push my gums even further. I went online and read that yes, sometimes night guards do cause gum recession. Does anybody know if all night guards make the recession worse?
I want to get Invisalign but I also have gum recession. What would be the best order of operations: fixing the gums first, then getting Invisalign? Or vice versa?
I am replying because I have the same situation. My periodontist sent me to get my orthodontic treatment first and then he will treat my gums recession. He also did a deep cleaning and cut some excessive gum in other teeth before I got braces, since I was not elegible for Invisalign tho.
He told me to do it that way because if he fix the gums first and then I get the orthodontic treatment, there could be a possibility that the gums recede due to the stress of the teeth's movements.
@@klubhead7070same to me. 4 months with braces now, I had a lot of crowding on the bottom that I wanted to fix so my teeth and gums last me the rest of my lifetime, and now I'm getting a bunch of gum recession. I've got an appointment with 2 periodontists next week, I didn't even know they were a thing otherwise I would have visited them before. Very curious about what they'll say, I've been living with heavy anxiety ever since I've put these freaking things in my teeth.
Notice how everytime a dentist is asked why dental care is so expensive, even with insurance, they never really admit that they choose to charge whatever they want because they know they can and instead, they always turn it back to being the insurance companies' fault for only covering around $2000 a year and they then start talking about how important oral care is to your overall physical health, etc, etc so you shouldn't complain about the high price and just "Pay Up".
Hi Doc, is Pinhole better or more EFFECTIVE than traditional GUM Grafting? or is traditional GUM GRAFTING better or more effective than pin hole? I wish your office was here in the UK too
@@AbtinXthis might be a good alternative if the area is not visible tho, sounds way more invasive too. Are you talking about teeth bonding, or something else?
@@HelderP1337 I don't really remember what this was about. I think I meant ceramic with the lower buccal ceramic made to look like soft tissue. I never liked that approach but sure it can be done.
This could be done for far less, just the surgical procedure probably around 1000 dollars in Scandinavia. Yes this is heavily overpriced I can't understand this at all. We do bone grafting surgeries for around 1000-1500 dollars
Can You show any examples (with X-Rays), where bone recreates after Pinhole technique, like You have repeated times shown after LANAP treatments ? It is a pitty, that the pinhole technique is hold as "secrete issue", without any real operation videos etc. published anywhere. All other techniques, like palate gum transplantation and also bone crafting in recession ereas with open operation techniques are documented as videos and in print media. But nothing about pinhole technique becomes published. This is suspicious and a free publication should be done. Also for better scientific advancing of this method.
Sad it cost to much you could feed thousands with that kind of money for the poor you may as as well lose your teeth smh……….. good that people got hope with this pinhole bad that it cost is out of the world only for the rich..😮🤦♀️😟☹️

This is the first time I have heard of this treatment.

Keep up the great work!
Dentist always ask many X-Rays here and there, I read that even a X-Rays damage tecides, and I try avoid it as much I can.
Does this have a good rate of success?
Does the pin treatment last? What are the methods to fix a bite that is off? Which is the most cost effective?

The latter did start after I started to wear it but, unfortunately, I put two and two together when I already had a significant gum recession twenty years later. The guard was pushing my gums to the point I felt uncomfortable but I still wore it every night for all these years. Now my new dentist says I need a hard night guard to prevent my recession to get even worse (and it’s pretty bad now). I’m panicking, as I imagine how it will push my gums even further. I went online and read that yes, sometimes night guards do cause gum recession. Does anybody know if all night guards make the recession worse?
I want to get Invisalign but I also have gum recession. What would be the best order of operations: fixing the gums first, then getting Invisalign? Or vice versa?
I am replying because I have the same situation. My periodontist sent me to get my orthodontic treatment first and then he will treat my gums recession. He also did a deep cleaning and cut some excessive gum in other teeth before I got braces, since I was not elegible for Invisalign tho.
He told me to do it that way because if he fix the gums first and then I get the orthodontic treatment, there could be a possibility that the gums recede due to the stress of the teeth's movements.
Yeah that’s what my dentist said too. To fix my crooked teeth and then afterwards fix my gums since they will be straight and no more gaps
@@klubhead7070same to me.
4 months with braces now, I had a lot of crowding on the bottom that I wanted to fix so my teeth and gums last me the rest of my lifetime, and now I'm getting a bunch of gum recession.
I've got an appointment with 2 periodontists next week, I didn't even know they were a thing otherwise I would have visited them before. Very curious about what they'll say, I've been living with heavy anxiety ever since I've put these freaking things in my teeth.
No More Cavities Brian Cusp All the secrets. Brushing with bakiing soda stopped my gum problems.
$5,000 at a minimum. Too bad your health insurance in this country is garbage. Most other countries have universal healthcare, and dental is included.
So, pinhole is more expensive than traditional gum grafting? 5-25k seems higher than what I came across on the net for traditional procedures.
I have a question do you need a referral to come see you because I live in Michigan not that far from you and I have some receding gums
Wallet full of money and you'll be fine. also calling them is faster and you'll get an answer. 😅
Notice how everytime a dentist is asked why dental care is so expensive, even with insurance, they never really admit that they choose to charge whatever they want because they know they can and instead, they always turn it back to being the insurance companies' fault for only covering around $2000 a year and they then start talking about how important oral care is to your overall physical health, etc, etc so you shouldn't complain about the high price and just "Pay Up".
Hi Doc, is Pinhole better or more EFFECTIVE than traditional GUM Grafting? or is traditional GUM GRAFTING better or more effective than pin hole? I wish your office was here in the UK too
Yes
Pinhole is definitely more effective with way less pain!
@@josephrnemeth Thanks doc. but I heard that PIN HOLE mainly works for MILD GUM RECESSION not severe GUM recession. any thoughts on that?
@@shabsa2637 my perio told me the same thing
I’m from Michigan, but I live in San Antonio, Texas…. Do you have a recommendation here?
I went for a consultation with Dr Robert Friedberg in Houston. I was very impressed with the practice.
@@barnwela thank you so much!
... and also remember that Joe Nemeth is a DDS and Joe Namath is a former QB.
Does pinhole fix the black triangles?
I think grafting might be better for that, but you'd need to ask a periodontist
Can you just fill the gap with the composite as an alternative option ?
It doesn't look natural and it doesn't feel the same. But yes
@@AbtinXthis might be a good alternative if the area is not visible tho, sounds way more invasive too.
Are you talking about teeth bonding, or something else?
@@HelderP1337 I don't really remember what this was about. I think I meant ceramic with the lower buccal ceramic made to look like soft tissue. I never liked that approach but sure it can be done.
Nice smile Olivia 🙂
Thank you! Really appreciate your content.
This is really great info, as always. Love from Canada.
This could be done for far less, just the surgical procedure probably around 1000 dollars in Scandinavia. Yes this is heavily overpriced I can't understand this at all. We do bone grafting surgeries for around 1000-1500 dollars
But who has 25k for this procedure?! I think I need it and just can't afford it.
jeez 5-25k.... thats is a big swing, im assuming a gum graft is twice as much? Gotta love out medical "healthcare" system.
Can You show any examples (with X-Rays), where bone recreates after Pinhole technique, like You have repeated times shown after LANAP treatments ? It is a pitty, that the pinhole technique is hold as "secrete issue", without any real operation videos etc. published anywhere. All other techniques, like palate gum transplantation and also bone crafting in recession ereas with open operation techniques are documented as videos and in print media. But nothing about pinhole technique becomes published. This is suspicious and a free publication should be done. Also for better scientific advancing of this method.
Too much. Turkey will be 1/100th of the price for a world class doctors. Everyone goes there for medical tourism. Research it.
5k to 25k. And I thought switzerland is expensive. DAAAYUM!
That's why you see people have one tooth in their heads. There's no way you can afford these procedures even with dental insurance.
Sad it cost to much you could feed thousands with that kind of money for the poor you may as as well lose your teeth smh……….. good that people got hope with this pinhole bad that it cost is out of the world only for the rich..😮🤦♀️😟☹️
Too expensive 😢
25k , thats very expensive for a days work. why cant it be done so everybody can afford it
$25,000 is well out of most people price range lets be real
It s wrong Dr Nemeth. It's when the bone recedes, then the gum recedes with it and not the other way around.
5000 to 25000 that is crazy
It`s also a matter of who has $25,000... I don`t.
Bullshit. It only cost 2500 per quadrant in California at most.
In Greece 1200
If dentists really cared about your dental health they wouldn't charge outrageous amounts.
tru
25k? 1 hour procedure? what insurance will cover? byeeeee!....
What the hell 5-25$ thousand yikes
Seems you're charging too much. Come on doc. $5000 -$25000 seems outrageous. Since it's an evasive procedure.
The Main Goal is for You to get Rich ...
You are a Parasite..... There is nothing wrong with having dentures.
Wtffff 25000 usd😭😭😭😭😭😭
just another dental treatment for the rich.
AT 6:24..I WANTED TO SEE YOU BOTH KISS, BIG LET DOWN
what the hell is wrong with you.
