A gum allograft is a type of periodontal plastic surgery that offers patients an alternative to traditional soft tissue grafting procedures. It is often used to restore gum tissue that has been damaged by periodontal disease, aggressive brushing or dental trauma. It uses donated tissues that are obtained in closely regulated, sterile procedures to restore and rebuild diseased tissues. The gum graft cost can vary considerably based on the type of treatment needed.
A healthy smile is invaluable. Periodontal disease is one of the primary causes of tooth and tissue loss among American adults. Gum disease is caused by the bacteria that live in plaque. These bacteria irritate and infect the gums, which can trigger the development of pockets when the gums pull away from the teeth. The pockets become more difficult to clean, and the gums can pull away even further.
As the tissues recede, the tooth roots can become more exposed. Exposed tooth roots can increase sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, and they may be more prone to decay. In some cases, as the gum tissue decreases, other tissues may also decrease, which can lead to the loss of one or more teeth. Once the gum disease has advanced beyond gingivitis, the damage cannot be reversed. However, the lost tissue can be restored through gum grafts. A gum graft can cover and protect exposed roots, beautify a smile and reduce or even eliminate sensitivity. Gum grafts can also be performed for cosmetic purposes. The gum graft surgery cost may be covered by dental insurance in some cases, and some patients may qualify for financing.
