What Is a Gingivectomy?
A gingivectomy is a surgical procedure that removes overgrown or infected gum tissue. It’s often recommended for patients with periodontal disease, chronic gum infections, or cosmetic concerns such as a “gummy” smile. By eliminating diseased tissue and reshaping gumlines, gingivectomy improves both function and appearance—making it easier to maintain long-term oral health.
