Gingivectomy (Gum Recontouring)
Gingivectomy reshapes gum tissue to improve health access, symmetry, and smile balance.
What to know
Gingivectomy, also called gum recontouring, removes or reshapes excess gum tissue when it affects health, hygiene, or smile proportions.
The dentist evaluates gum health, tooth display, tissue levels, and whether recontouring should be part of a broader periodontal or cosmetic plan.
After treatment, mild tenderness can occur briefly. Following cleaning and healing instructions helps the tissue recover smoothly.
Your smile deserves a coordinated team.
