The expense associated with soft tissue grafting for the gums depends on several factors, including the size of the area being treated, the complexity of the procedure, the materials used, the geographic location, and the dentist’s fees. For example, a small graft to cover one or two teeth will typically be less expensive than a more extensive procedure involving multiple teeth or larger areas of recession.
Restoring gum tissue through surgical procedures provides both aesthetic and functional benefits. Receding gums can expose tooth roots, leading to sensitivity, an increased risk of decay, and potential bone loss. These procedures aim to protect exposed roots, improve the appearance of the smile, and reduce the risk of further periodontal problems. The development of these techniques has significantly advanced the field of periodontics, offering effective solutions for managing gum recession and preserving oral health.
