What is a Gingivectomy?

The gingivectomy is currently the most frequent dental surgery carried out in developing nations. The oral surgeon performs this procedure to alter the mouth's gums' appearance. He could do it to treat the structures around the teeth that are affected by gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) or to reverse its effects.

Work?

In order to eliminate spaces between the gums and teeth, unhealthy gum tissues are cut or reshaped during gingivectomy surgery. Depending on how many inflammatory gum tissues you have, this procedure might take 45 to 60 minutes.

People with severe, advanced gum disease are typically seen to be good candidates for this procedure. Contact us to find out more about the requirements for a gingivectomy procedure.
