A gingivectomy is a procedure where excess gum tissue is removed to treat disease or reshape your smile. It’s commonly used to:

✅ Treat gum disease (periodontitis)
✅ Create a balanced smile line 
✅ Reduce deep gum pockets for cleaning
✅ Remove excess gum tissue from medications or genetics

By removing problem areas of gum tissue, like from gum disease, gingivectomy not only restores your oral health but also gives you a smile that looks more even and natural.
