A Specialist's Approach to Diagnosis
and Long-Term Periodontal Health
Successful periodontics in Los Algodones, MX, begins with precise diagnosis and a long-term strategy, not just a single procedure. As a board-certified periodontist, Dr. Clarisa Luken evaluates the full foundation of your oral health before recommending treatment.
Each assessment may include:
- Detailed pocket depth measurements
- Digital imaging to evaluate bone levels
- Assessment of gum recession and tissue quality
- Tooth mobility analysis
- Review of medical history and risk factors
This thorough evaluation allows us to identify not only where disease is present, but why it developed and how to prevent recurrence.


Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique
for Gum Recession
Gum recession exposes the roots of teeth, leading to sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and cosmetic concerns. This minimally invasive technique is designed to correct recession without traditional grafting.
Instead of harvesting tissue from the roof of the mouth, a tiny “pinhole” entry point is created in the gum tissue. Through this small opening, specialized instruments gently loosen and reposition the existing tissue to cover exposed roots. Here’s how it differs from traditional gum grafting:
- No donor tissue required: Traditional grafting often involves taking tissue from another area of the mouth. The pinhole technique uses your existing gum tissue.
- No scalpels or sutures: Treatment is performed through a small access point rather than large incisions.
- Faster recovery and immediate cosmetic improvement: Most patients experience minimal swelling and see visible results the same day.
For patients looking for periodontics in Los Algodones, MX, this advanced technique allows for predictable outcomes with reduced downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions About Periodontal Treatment
When should I see a periodontist instead of a general dentist?
A periodontist specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the gums and supporting bone. If you have advanced gum disease, significant gum recession, bone loss, or have been told you need grafting or surgical treatment, a specialist evaluation is often recommended.
Is periodontal treatment only for severe cases?
Not at all. Early intervention can prevent minor inflammation from progressing into advanced disease. Periodontics with us includes preventive care, maintenance therapy, and minimally invasive treatments in addition to surgical solutions.
How long do periodontal treatment results last?
With proper maintenance and regular follow-up care, results can be long-lasting. Ongoing periodontal maintenance appointments are critical to monitor gum health and prevent recurrence.
Can periodontal problems affect dental implants?
Yes. Healthy gums and bone are essential for implant success. Periodontal evaluation and treatment help create a stable foundation before and after implant placement.
