I just scheduled the surgery for next month, 6500.00 for the procedure and insurance will only pay 1000.00. I have Lupus and am an ex smoker so the combination has caused much gum damage but want to feel that this will improve and help me keep my teeth for years to come. My teeth are in great shape and I brush 3 times a day. Would love to here any input regarding previous people having the surgery or expert adviseView Thread
