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 that 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 concerned about the possibility of receding gum lines, set an appointment with your dentist for a consultation. If you have not visited your dentist in the last six months for an examination, now is a good time to do so. Your dentist will take a look at your gums and determine whether or not you have gum disease, as well as whether or not you are experiencing gum recession. They will then create a treatment plan and will go over your options for the repair of the recession of your gums (which may include utilizing the pinhole surgical technique). Don’t allow the recession to continue. The longer you wait for the treatment, the more difficult and costly the treatment will be.

With the pinhole surgical technique, dentists are able to restore the gum lines of their patients, and reverse the recession caused by gum disease.
