The cost of periodontal procedures to augment deficient gum tissue varies based on several factors, including the type of graft needed (connective tissue, free gingival, or pedicle), the extent of the area requiring treatment, the geographic location of the practice, the surgeon’s experience and fees, and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are necessary. A simple procedure to address recession on a single tooth may differ significantly in price from a more complex procedure involving multiple teeth or extensive tissue regeneration.
Adequate gum tissue is essential for protecting tooth roots from decay and sensitivity, maintaining a healthy and aesthetically pleasing smile, and preventing further recession or bone loss. Restoring lost gum tissue can significantly improve oral health and enhance long-term dental stability. Historically, various methods have been employed to address gingival recession, but advances in techniques and materials have led to more predictable and effective outcomes.
