Q: I have had 3 gum grafting surgeries (3 different areas) and now my periodontist is recommending an additional surgery for one of the areas. I am hesitant because the previous one obviously did not do well. Should another type of gum surgery be performed?
A: Sometimes a secondary procedure is necessary to achieve the best result with grafting procedures. We inform all of our patients in our practice that multiple procedures might be necessary.
Best of luck,
Dr. Eric Linden
