How much does a periodontal chart cost?

A periodontal chart is a detailed examination of your gum health. Costs vary between practices and depend on the extent of the measurements. A simple screening is cheaper than a full chart with X-rays. Some insurers reimburse part of the cost through supplementary dental insurance. The chart includes pocket measurements, bleeding tests and mobility checks. It forms the basis of a treatment plan for periodontitis. Repeat measurements during aftercare are often less extensive and less expensive. Ask for a clear cost estimate in advance. This examination is essential for diagnosis and for evaluating treatment. Without a chart, no targeted periodontal treatment can be started.
