Skin grafts for receeding gums
by KimZ63, Feb 11, 2008 09:49AM
I have receding gums on one of my bottom teeth that resulted from a permanent retainer. (The retainer moved my teeth too rapidly, I was told, and within two weeks, my gums started to recede.) Anyway, according to my oral surgeon, the recession is now at level 3 and ready for a skin graft. However, I've heard several stories that such grafts are not terribly effective. What is the success rate?

Seeing a periodontist for second opinion is advised.
