New London, CT Periodontist, Dr. Marianne Urbanski Completes Advanced Pinhole® Surgical Technique Training to Treat Receding Gums

NEW LONDON, Conn., July 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Esteemed New London, CT periodontist, Dr. Marianne Urbanski of Shoreline Periodontics, recently took an advanced course on the Pinhole® Surgical Technique to treat patients with receding gums. Dr. Urbanski and Dr. Gregory Toback are leading periodontists with practice locations in New London, CT, and Westerly, RI who have offered specialized periodontal and dental implant care since 1998.

Patients with receding gums often experience extreme tooth sensitivity to hot and cold foods and beverages, unaesthetic yellow hue to teeth near the gums, discomfort while eating, and tooth mobility. Gum recession can occur for many reasons, but the most common include aggressive tooth brushing, poor oral hygiene, hormonal changes, aging, and gum disease. Receding gums can only be reversed through treatment, which includes scalpel-based gum grafting and Pinhole Surgical Technique.

The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™) involves the use of specialized dental tools inserted through a small "pinhole" created above the tooth. With this access, gently repositioning the gum tissue back over the exposed tooth root is a fast and comfortable process. PST eliminates the need for gum grafts, scalpels, incisions, or sutures. The cosmetic and functional results of PST are noticeable immediately, with full healing complete in 1-2 weeks. Patients enjoy faster and more efficient treatment as the minimally invasive nature of PST allows more quadrants to be treated at once, with a comfortable return to normal activities the day of or the day after treatment.

Dr. Urbanski has years of specialized experience treating receding gums and continues to offer more advanced periodontal care through continuing education courses, including her most recent. Together, she and Dr. Toback help return patients' smiles to a state of health, beauty, and function with innovative techniques and treatments like the advanced Pinhole Surgical Technique.
