How much does gum grafting cost?

December 16th, 2011
Q.

Hi Doctor! I am currently in the process of straightening my teeth with orthodontic braces. I am 25 years old and my problems started when my dentist established that I clench my teeth when I sleep. I am have a malocclusion which the braces are sorting out well. I have four teeth which have receeded and I’m worried about them. Would you be able to let me know how much it would cost in the uk to have a gum graft completed?. Does the cost include just one tooth or would they work per site. I would need at least four gum grafts, and just wanted to know a realistic quote. Also would you be able to recommend any one for such a procedure. I am just worried that I have spend a substantial amount of money to have the brace and would like the receeding gums to be treated. Would it be best to have the gum graft once the brace comes off? Kindest regards

What can I do to make my overgrown gums recede?

August 23rd, 2011
Q.

I have had braces for a year, even though i brush my teeth I haven’t flossed enough as i found it difficult. My gums have become compressed and protrude between my teeth. and now, when I do floss assiduously I cannot seem to make them recede. when my braces are taken off in a half year or so, they will look rather foolish, and Im wondering what I can do to repair the situation? I have no doubt you understand what Im talking about, as my doctor said this is a common occurence.
Thanks
