Gingivectomy
Gingivectomy is a periodontal procedure that involves removing gum tissue in advance of root planing and scaling, and to prevent more serious dental issues.
What is a Gingivectomy?
Dentists at Straight Smile Centres can address advanced gum issues by performing a gingivectomy, which involves the removal of gum tissue.
This procedure can also be done for cosmetic reasons, to expose more of the tooth surface and lengthen the crown.
If you have a gummy smile – meaning your gums are prominent – you may be a candidate.
