Can gum graft cause any damage?

I have gum recession and will have gum graft surgery. Can gum graft cause any damage?

Any surgical procedure involves risk.  Gum grafts are usually a preventive procedure designed to put back what should be there in the first place.  Gum grafts do have a failure rate and talk candidly with your surgeon about that.  Hope this helps!  Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us
