A gum graft is a mucogingival surgery that is meant to repair the problem of receding gums caused by periodontal disease. This condition can be caused by genetics or by periodontal disease. It is possible to execute a procedure known as "periodontal plastic surgery" on gums that have receded in order to improve the appearance of a smile and also to preserve your teeth against the biological and functional effects of gum recession. Gum grafting is another name for this procedure.
Depending on how bad the gum recession is, a gum graft that stops periodontal disease from getting worse and keeps teeth from falling out can cost between $600 and $1,200 for a single procedure.
Even though these treatments can be expensive, many major dental insurance companies, like Cigna and Aetna, cover gum grafts and other periodontal procedures in some way. Many also cover the cost of prescription mouthwash and pain relievers, which are both important for healing after a gum graft. People who are thinking about getting a gum graft should talk to their insurance company about the details of their policy as it relates to gum surgery and the cost of periodontal surgery in general.
