About This Provider
Dr. Marmar Modarressi is a board-certified periodontist and the founder of Periodontal Associates, LLC, located on Chicago's Magnificent Mile. She holds advanced degrees from UCLA, New York University, and the University of Michigan. Dr. Modarressi is one of a small handful of practitioners in Chicago certified in The Pinhole® Surgical Technique, a minimally invasive approach to gum recession that eliminates the need for traditional grafting in many cases. Her research has been published in Periodontology 2000 and the International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, and the Journal of Clinical Periodontology named her paper among its top downloads for 2018-2019. She demonstrated The Pinhole® Surgical Technique on live closed-circuit television at the Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting and has lectured on periodontal surgery at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the University of Michigan, and the Illinois Academy of General Dentistry. She has served on the Board of Directors of the Chicago Dental Society West Suburban Branch and the Odontographic Society of Chicago. Patients describe her as thorough, empathetic, and conservative in her recommendations. She does not suggest surgery when monitoring and non-surgical care are the more appropriate first steps.
