Gingivectomy

What Is Gingivectomy

Gingivectomy is a minor surgical procedure performed to remove excess or diseased gum tissue, primarily for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis) or for cosmetic gum reshaping. Overgrown or inflamed gums can trap bacteria, cause discomfort, and interfere with oral hygiene. A gingivectomy helps in reducing these pockets between the teeth and gums, allowing for better cleaning and reducing the risk of further infection. It can also be done to improve a “gummy smile,” where too much gum tissue covers the teeth, making them appear smaller. At Maruthi Eye and Dental Hospital, our skilled periodontists perform gingivectomy using advanced techniques, including laser-assisted surgery for precision, faster healing, and minimal discomfort. The procedure is safe, effective, and usually done under local anesthesia. Patients experience significant improvement in both oral health and appearance. Post-operative care is simple and we guide patients through every step to ensure smooth recovery. Whether for therapeutic or aesthetic reasons, gingivectomy can help enhance gum health and restore a confident, beautiful smile.
