When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

We have an in-house periodontist. Depending on your case it may be possible to bill your medical as well as dental insurance. You would have to consult with the periodontist regarding procedures, cost, etc.

Please contact our office for more information if you are interested.

Before you elect this treatment you should understand why all your gum is receeding; why the entire lower arch and not the upper arch. I would not recommend doing all this gum work, if the underlying cause of your problem is not addressed.

Your gum can still receed after the surgery. I would suggest proper consultation and assessment before you proceed. Have you gone for other opinions?

I think you have reached the wrong office - we do not do gum graphs
