Gingivectomy – Dr. Friedberg & Associates

Improve Gum Health and Enhance Your Smile

At Dr. Friedberg & Associates, we provide professional gingivectomy services to restore gum health, prevent disease progression, and improve the appearance of your smile. This treatment is ideal for patients who have excess gum tissue, deep periodontal pockets, or cosmetic concerns such as a “gummy smile.” Our experienced team uses advanced techniques to ensure the process is precise, comfortable, and effective.

What Is a Gingivectomy?

A gingivectomy is a specialized periodontal surgery that reshapes or removes gum tissue around the teeth. It is commonly performed to treat gum disease when other non-surgical methods have not been successful, or to improve smile aesthetics. By removing overgrown or infected tissue, the procedure reduces pocket depth and makes oral hygiene easier.

When Is the Procedure Recommended?

You may be a candidate for a gingivectomy if you experience:

  • Persistent gum disease that resists other treatments

  • Deep periodontal pockets that trap food and bacteria

  • Excess gum tissue caused by certain medications or genetics

  • A “gummy smile” that affects your confidence

Benefits of Treatment

Undergoing a professional gingivectomy can:

  • Reduce the risk of advanced periodontal disease

  • Make brushing and flossing more effective

  • Improve gum symmetry and tooth proportions

  • Enhance the overall appearance of your smile
