Gum grafts are rarely reimbursed in full by insurers. Some supplementary dental insurance packages cover a percentage (50-80%) of the costs. A medical need, such as extreme sensitivity or progressive recession, is required. Cosmetic procedures are almost never reimbursed. Ask your clinician for a written cost estimate in advance. Contact your insurer for the exact details of your cover. Hospital treatments sometimes have different reimbursement rules. Expect to pay a personal contribution of €200-€600 per area. A periodontist can help with letters explaining the medical need. Good documentation of the need increases the chance of reimbursement.
