Q.
I am 44 years old and have severe bone loss & recession of the anterior 4 teeth, bottom jaw. I consulted w/a periodontist, and he took measurements of recession. He recommended doing a lingual frenectomy to avoid further recession. How effective is this procedure for preventing further recession, and how long will it take to know whether it was a success or not, and if I will need a graft? Does it make a difference whether the procedure utilizes a blade vs. a laser (besides bleeding, need for stitches?) What is the typical cash cost for this procedure? Thanks very much for your assistance.,
