Depends: It all depends on a proper diagnosis, the skill and the techniques of the periodontist. In the proper situation, with a skilled surgeon it can be successful.

WHOA: First of all it should not be $8k - time for a 2nd opinion. Depending on the type of allograft utilized and the location etc will determine the success rate.
