Deepening The Gum Groove For Dentures

Arkansas rates for HCPCS 40842

Reshapes the groove between the cheek or lip and the gum ridge to deepen it, so that a denture has a stable seat and does not rub or lift. The soft tissue is repositioned and allowed to heal in its new position. It is done when the ridge has flattened with age or after teeth have been lost.
