Gingivectomy
What is a Gingivectomy?
Gingivectomy, is a surgical procedure commonly used in the field of dental health. This procedure refers to the surgical removal of gum tissue. Gingivectomy can be performed for various purposes. Primarily, it is performed to treat gum problems, especially to correct the gum line or adjust the length of the teeth. It can also be performed to provide better access to the tooth root surface or for aesthetic reasons. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and the patient’s comfort is taken into consideration.

Precision Treatment
Laser technology enables precise treatment that protects healthy gum tissue while targeting specific areas of the mouth for health or cosmetic needs.
Minimal discomfort
Laser dentistry usually results in less discomfort and swelling compared to conventional methods of dental care.
Quicker Recovery
As trauma to gum tissue is reduced, its healing process becomes much faster so you can return to daily activities more quickly.
Less Bleeding
Laser treatments use cauterization of blood vessels during treatment to limit bleeding during and following gingivectomy procedures.
