Gingivectomy

Our goal is to bring out your best smile and help you maintain it for life. A healthy smile encompasses healthy gums. Gingivectomy is a procedure that involves the surgical removal of unhealthy gum tissue (gingiva), reducing the depth of gum pockets, promoting oral hygiene, and preserving your beautiful teeth. A quick and simple contour of the gums can dramatically improve your finished smile and increase dental longevity. This service is also available without a full treatment!

Contour Your Gum Tissue

The Gingivectomy begins with precise measurements of the teeth and gums. Next, a detailed close-up photograph of the patient’s smile aids in planning the procedure using principles of both mini- and micro-aesthetics. This meticulous process involves mapping out the exact measurements of the tissue to be removed, ensuring accuracy to the millimeter.

During the procedure, numbing is administered using a small syringe injection to the gums. The entire process takes approximately 30 minutes, with a healing period of up to two weeks.
