Periodontist explained she only does an autograft for any gum recession. i have 7 bottom front teeth to do. best options to 2 surgical visits?

Allograft: The alternative is an allograft, connective tissue from another source. Two examples are alloderm and mucograft. However, why not discuss with your doctor why she recommend an autograft, your own tissue. She might know something about your condition that we here do not.

You could do it in 1: Using human freeze dried skin ( like what is used on burn patients) the procedure could be accomplished in 1 appointment.
