Improve Your Gum Health & Smile Aesthetics

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on gingivectomy, a procedure that can enhance both the health and appearance of your gums. At Studio Smiles, we are dedicated to providing expert care and education, ensuring you have all the information you need to make informed decisions about your oral health.

What is a Gingivectomy?

A gingivectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal and reshaping of gum tissue. It is commonly performed to:

  • Treat gum disease
  • Enhance smile aesthetics
  • Improve gum health and function

By expertly removing excess or diseased gum tissue, we can reveal more of your teeth, creating a healthier and more attractive smile.

Why Consider a Gingivectomy?

There are several reasons why a gingivectomy may be recommended:

  • Gum Disease Treatment – This procedure helps remove diseased tissue, allowing for better oral hygiene and preventing further gum deterioration.
  • Cosmetic Enhancement – If you have an uneven gum-to-tooth ratio, a gingivectomy can reshape your gum line for a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
  • Functional Improvement – By reducing deep gum pockets, we minimize the risk of bacterial infections and improve long-term oral health.

Benefits of a Gingivectomy

  • Improved Gum Health – Eliminates problematic tissue, reducing the risk of periodontal disease.
  • Enhanced Smile Aesthetics – Creates a symmetrical, proportionate gum line for a more attractive smile.
  • Reduced Risk of Infection – Minimizes bacterial pockets, helping to maintain healthier teeth and gums.
