Does an office near you publish a fee for a gum graft?
Piedmont Dental does not publish a fee for a gum graft. The front desk can tell you whether the office does it and quote a fee. Until an office publishes one with this site, the national range above is the best guide, and any office should give you its fee before treatment starts.
Does insurance change the cost of a gum graft?
Every figure on this page is the cost without insurance. A dental plan usually pays part of a gum graft; how much depends on the plan, the yearly maximum and any waiting period, so ask the office to check your benefits before treatment starts.
What these numbers do and do not includeEach fee is for one procedure on one tooth, not the whole visit. An exam comes first, and whatever the tooth needs after that, a filling, an extraction, a crown, is its own line. The fee can also move with what the dentist finds once they are looking at the tooth: a cavity that looked small on the x-ray can need a bigger filling, and an extraction that looked simple can turn surgical. Treat this as a starting point. The exact number for your visit is confirmed before any treatment starts.
Can you pay for a gum graft over time?
Many offices take payment plans or financing such as CareCredit, a medical credit card; terms vary, so read them before you sign. Piedmont Dental lists cash, check, all major credit cards and CareCredit on its payment options page, and says it has no in-house membership plan. Ask the office for one written price for a gum graft before you choose how to pay.
