Cost

Pricing varies — request a quote

We publish a range only when we can point at where the figure came from, and we do not have one for gum grafting yet. It is priced per tooth. Ask two or three of the practices below for a written treatment plan and compare like for like.

Partially covered

Many plans contribute, commonly around half, and the annual maximum is usually what limits how much comes back.

Cost figures are estimated ranges gathered for comparison. They are not quotes and not a guarantee of price. Your own cost depends on your mouth, your insurance and the practice you choose. Estimates only — confirm pricing with the practice.
