Gingivectomy

Crown lengthening decorative image

A gingivectomy is a periodontal procedure in which excess gum tissue is removed to expose more of the tooth's structure and can be performed for a variety of reasons. It may be used in combination with other periodontal or cosmetic procedures to create a smile that is both beautiful and healthy.

Why a gingivectomy may be recommended…

Appearance
For patients whose smile exposes a lot of gum tissue, a gingivectomy can reshape gum lines and elongate the visible part of the tooth, providing a more proportional and attractive smile. Learn More about Crown Lengthening
Function

A gingivectomy may be performed to remove thickened or overgrown gum tissue caused by the use of some medications that treat blood pressure or anti-rejection medications used by transplant recipients. 

Oral Health

Gum disease develops when plaque spreads below the gum line and causes the tissue and bone that support the teeth to decay. A gingivectomy can be performed to shrink deep gum pockets that may harbor bacteria to improve both oral and overall health. Learn More about Pocket Depth Reduction
