Deepening The Gum Groove To Help Dentures Fit

Arizona rates for HCPCS 40844

Surgery that deepens the groove between the lip or cheek and the jaw ridge, giving a denture more ridge to grip. It is done when years without teeth have left the ridge too flat and shallow for a denture to stay in place.
