Hello, if it is done by the experienced practitioner, it should not be painful. You also should discuss risks and benefits beforehand with your doctor.
Pinhole surgery is one way to cover the recession areas, in which can be an aesthetic compromised, or can have root sensitivity!
pinhole procedure is surgery, and depends how many teeth to be covered, during surgery there is no pain, but post-op depending on the surgical skill of dentist and severity of the case, pain can differ!
