  • Given the location, it seems to me that using a continuous suture would not present the same danger of popping open that other suture locations would because that area of tissue does not stretch much. Other than for closing gums after tooth removal do you ever find a need to use a non-continuous suture technique?

  • @azreal289 other than this type of suturing I hardly ever use continuous suturing. Either single interrupted or single sling is what I use normally.

  • How much does this surgery cost?

  • @reddsofine1 if you live in a country with socialized medicine/dentistry it should be free! However here in the Bay Area of California it costs about $1200 (or more).

  • Omg, please tell me this person didn't feel all that! Now I don't think I want to go back to the dentist, I'd rather have no teeth!

  • @fatma619 omg of course the patient was anesthetized. He was also premedicated with a pain med, Anaprox which he took for a day only. It is amazing to have patients heal with very little discomfort, if any.  Microscopic procedures heal faster and preemptive pain management makes a big difference. Dr. Kwan

  • gross.

  • gj doc looks very good...

  • i had this twice, doesnt happen because you dont take care of you teeth. my gums were receding due to excessive grinding and brushing (due to OCD I think). Each section was around $3800 (3 teeth or so covered). I have insurance. 2nd procedure cost me $175 out of pocket (3 insurance policies).
