While the pinhole surgical technique is an excellent way to restore gums that have been affected by gum recession, not all dentists are qualified to perform this advanced technique. Because of this, you’ll want to speak with your dentist about whether or not they can perform the procedure and, if they cannot, whether or not they know any dentists in the area that can.

You also may want to consider searching online for a dentist who is able to utilize the pinhole surgical technique to repair your gum recession if your general dentist is unable to perform the procedure.

If you are worried about gum disease and/or you have noticed your gums receding, it’s extremely important to set an appointment for an examination. Waiting for your next scheduled cleaning is not advised, as the gum disease will continue to progress as you wait. Once you visit Baer Dental for your appointment, we will take a look at your gums to better determine what the underlying issue is. From there, we can put together a gum treatment plan, which may include the pinhole surgical technique.
