Your gum graft details
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Gum grafting is usually done by a periodontist (gum specialist). Their fee is higher than a general dentist's, but for multiple sites or aesthetic front teeth the specialist result is usually worth it.
Gum recession does not grow back on its own, a graft covers the exposed root to protect the tooth, reduce sensitivity and prevent further loss. Treating it early is simpler and cheaper than waiting.
💰 Ways to save
- Treat recession early, a single small graft is far cheaper than multiple advanced sites later.
- Ask whether some sites can be treated with a less invasive technique.
- Part of the cost may attract an extras rebate under major dental, check your cover.
