Gingivectomy
What is a gingivectomy?
Gingivectomy is a relatively minor type of periodontal surgery that involves the removal of a small amount of gum tissue around a tooth or several teeth. A gingivectomy might be necessary to remove diseased tissue, allow a filling or crown to be placed below the gum line, or to improve esthetics. The procedure is usually fairly quick and typically involves only a little postoperative pain.
The procedure
First, we make sure that all involved areas of the gums are completely numb. We then carefully make a small incision and remove the excess gum tissue. After a couple of weeks, your gums will be completely healed.
A gum reduction procedure is a safe and predictable way to remove excess gum tissue and improve the natural appearance of your smile.
