Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty are two types of periodontal surgical procedures that aim to improve the health and appearance of the gums. These procedures are performed by a dentist specialized in periodontology.
Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
Brief
Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty are two periodontal surgical procedures that aim to improve the health and appearance of the gums. Gingivectomy involves the removal and reshaping of part of the gums, especially when it has overgrown the tooth, either due to inflammation caused by periodontitis or for cosmetic reasons. Gingivoplasty focuses on reshaping healthy gingival tissue and is often a cosmetic procedure. After these procedures, there may be sensitivity or discomfort, managed through painkillers and strict oral hygiene. Results can vary, but patients can typically expect a significant improvement in the health and appearance of the gums. At Advanced Dentistry, the team is dedicated to providing the best care in these procedures.

What is Gingivectomy?
Gingivectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove and reshape part of the gum, especially in cases where it has overgrown the tooth. This may be necessary when there is advanced periodontitis and the gum swells and grows in response to inflammation. In some cases, gingivectomy can also be performed for cosmetic reasons, to improve a "gummy smile" (when a large portion of gum is visible when smiling).
What is Gingivoplasty?
Gingivoplasty is also a surgical procedure, but it focuses on reshaping healthy gingival tissue around the teeth. It is usually done to improve the appearance of the gums after they have been treated for periodontal disease or to correct gum deformities. Gingivoplasty is typically a cosmetic procedure.
