Frequently
Asked 
Questions

Is a gingivectomy painful?

We use local anesthesia to numb the area completely, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Mild soreness afterward is normal and manageable.

How long does it take to recover?

Most patients recover in about 7–10 days, with full gum healing occurring over a few weeks.

Can a gingivectomy fix a gummy smile?

Yes! A cosmetic gingivectomy can remove excess gum tissue and create a more balanced, proportionate smile.

Will my insurance cover the procedure?

If it’s done for medical reasons (like gum disease), many insurance plans offer partial coverage. Cosmetic gingivectomies may not be covered.

What should I eat after the procedure?

Stick to soft foods like yogurt, smoothies, and soup for a few days. Avoid spicy, crunchy, or hot foods until healed.

Is a laser gingivectomy better than traditional surgery?

Laser treatment often results in less bleeding, faster healing, and less discomfort—but both are safe and effective.

Can I brush my teeth after a gingivectomy?

Yes, but very gently around the treated area. We’ll show you how to clean safely during your healing period.

Will the gum tissue grow back?

In most cases, no. Once the tissue is removed and reshaped properly, it should stay stable long-term.

Can this procedure prevent tooth loss?

Yes—by reducing gum pockets and controlling infection, gingivectomy can help preserve your natural teeth.
