Not a scam: A gum tissue graft can help in many ways. First, the cause of the lost or receeded tissue must be identified and corrected. Sometimes we simply do not have the answer for this, but it is important to try to find out.Ex: occlusal trauma, chewing tobacco, incorrect /hard brushing, etc. Covering an exposed root, or establishing a healthy area of bound down tissue around a tooth is excellent treatment.

Good therapy: Gum graft is a good therapy if following a good diagnosis. Must treat the cause and eliminate the problem prior to graft. To ensure success, the site is totally healthy and void of any infection or bleeding gum. It is not a scam if the involving dentist gives some kind of warranty to some degree of success in the graft.
