Horrible! Made things worse.

I was told this procedure had a 20% failure rate. i had a 9mm recession with a pocket on lower front tooth. The procedure itself was tolerable, the recovery was hideous. Stitches stabbing into my lip caused painful ulcers. Didn't want to talk or eat. Had to go back & get antibiotics. The smell of the dead graft after 1 1/2 weeks was awful. The top half of it came loose. It was removed early. The pocket has gone but the procedure has damaged the gum on the tooth next to the one i was trying to fix. Very disappointed & stressful. Currently seeking other options & possibly a second opinion with a different periodontist.
