Gingivectomy is a surgical procedure in which some gum is trimmed for cosmetic purposes.

​

Through gingivectomy we perform the excision and removal of a part of the gingival tissue, either because it is injured or because the application of a dental aesthetic treatment in the area requires us to reduce the size of the gum in a certain area.

​

There is another procedure called gingivoplasty, which is used to remodel the gum with the aim of obtaining a more aesthetic tooth contour and is sometimes carried out simultaneously with the gingivectomy.

​

Gingival surgery is the procedure with which we treat the gums to eliminate part of the gingival tissue that is injured or to prepare an area that has to be operated on by the dentist.
