What Is a Gingivectomy?
A gingivectomy is a periodontal surgical procedure that removes and reshapes excess or overgrown gum tissue. It is typically performed to:
-
Treat advanced gum disease by eliminating deep pockets where bacteria thrive
-
Enhance gum aesthetics by correcting a “gummy” smile or uneven gum line
-
Improve access for better oral hygiene, reducing the risk of future gum disease
​
Dr. Toscano uses specialized instruments or laser technology to sculpt and contour the gum tissue with minimal discomfort and fast healing.
Why Might You Need a Gingivectomy?
You may be a candidate for gingivectomy if:
-
You have persistent periodontal pockets despite deep cleanings
-
Your gums have overgrown due to medication or inflammation
-
You’re unhappy with the appearance of your gummy smile
-
Crown or restorative work requires better gum access
After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Moezinia and Dr. Toscano will help determine whether a gingivectomy is the best approach for your individual needs.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Gingivectomy is typically performed under local anesthesia for your comfort. Our team will:
-
Gently numb the area
-
Remove the excess gum tissue with precision
-
Shape the gums to a healthy contour
-
Apply a protective dressing if needed
The procedure is straightforward and often completed in a single visit.
Healing and Recovery
Most patients experience mild soreness or swelling after a gingivectomy, which typically resolves in a few days. You'll be provided with detailed aftercare instructions, including:
-
Eating soft foods during the healing phase
-
Avoiding strenuous brushing near the site
-
Using any prescribed rinses or medications as directed
Follow-up visits with Dr. Moezinia and Dr. Toscano ensure your gums heal properly and your smile continues to thrive.
