All periodontists and dentists please click open this question and answer it.? I had gum grafting for receding gums, but can still see the root on one of the teeth; is this normal?
I had more and deeper gum receding on one side than on the other side of my lower jaw. I had a total of 2 molars and one side tooth grafted. On the side that was more receded, I can still see about 1 to 2 millimeters of the actual contour of the tooth's root. It's better than before; however, I was hoping that the whole root would be covered after healing. My periodontist says "the graft will only grow up to the extent of the blood supply, but that's okay as long as I have some". Does this sound correct to you or did I get cheated for the $2,000-$3000 money I paid?  I could not hardly get any answers; that's why I'm asking this again.

Summarized question: Is it fine for some of the tooth root to show after gum grafting?
