Gingivectomy is an advanced periodontal procedure that removes excess or diseased gum tissue to improve gum health, tooth visibility, and smile aesthetics. It is commonly performed for gum disease treatment and cosmetic smile enhancement.
When gums become infected or overgrown, deep pockets can trap bacteria and contribute to bone and tooth damage. Gingivectomy reshapes the gums, helps eliminate infection, and creates a healthier gum contour around teeth.
