Q: My husband is going through the lengthy process of getting two implants which as you know is quite costly. We are getting lots of denials from the insurance company, but pursuing. Do you know what the rationale would be for our dentist to have done four gum treatments on the same day for two teeth? Does that make any sense? Thank you.
A: It is very difficult to know what type of gum treatment was done on the two teeth you are referring to. Was it soft tissue grafting? Did he have a bone graft? Ridge augmentation? In our practice, it is not uncommon to perform multiple procedures on the same day depending on the needs of the patient.
