Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Yes, Alloderm can be a great grafting material. I would predict that insuarance would cover at 50-70% (plans vary widely). It''''s fine to repair the gums, but you will also want to get to the bottom of WHY you have lost so much tissue. The old myth that "you brush your teeth too hard" is no longer true. Make sure that you get a clear explanation and PLAN to keep this problem from returning.
