What Is a Gingivectomy?

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

When Is Gingivectomy Recommended?

  • Persistent gum disease that resists other treatments
  • Deep periodontal pockets that trap food and bacteria
  • Excess gum tissue caused by medications or genetics
  • A “gummy smile” that impacts confidence
