Gingivectomy (One Arch) – Enhancing Oral Health and Appearance

At Perla Dental, we offer Gingivectomy as a specialized procedure designed to treat gum-related issues and improve both the health and appearance of your smile. A gingivectomy is the surgical removal of excess gum tissue, and it can be performed on one arch (upper or lower) of your mouth. This procedure is ideal for patients with gum overgrowth, infections, or cosmetic concerns about their gum line.

What Is Gingivectomy (One Arch)?

A gingivectomy involves the removal of excessive or diseased gum tissue from one arch of the mouth. It is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. This procedure is commonly used to address problems like gum disease, gum overgrowth, or to reshape the gum line for aesthetic purposes. Gingivectomy can help eliminate the infection and promote healthier gums, as well as improve the overall appearance of the gums, making your smile look more balanced.

Why Choose Gingivectomy (One Arch)?

Improve Gum Health: Excess gum tissue can trap bacteria, leading to infections. Removing it helps reduce the risk of gum disease and promotes better oral hygiene.
Correct Gum Overgrowth: Gingivectomy helps in cases where gums have grown over the teeth, causing difficulty with oral care and even affecting tooth alignment.
Cosmetic Enhancement: For those seeking a more aesthetically pleasing smile, gingivectomy can reshape and contour the gum line to create a more balanced, even appearance.
Prevent Further Dental Issues: If untreated, excessive gum tissue can contribute to tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. Gingivectomy helps prevent these complications by addressing the root cause.

Ideal Candidates for Gingivectomy (One Arch)

• Gum Overgrowth: Patients with gums that have grown over the teeth, creating an uneven gum line or difficulty in cleaning teeth properly.
• Gum Disease: Individuals with gingivitis or periodontitis who need to remove infected gum tissue for improved health.
• Aesthetic Concerns: People who are self-conscious about their gum line and want a more balanced smile.
• Poor Oral Hygiene: In cases where excess gum tissue makes it challenging to maintain oral hygiene and clean between the teeth effectively.

Our Process

Consultation: During your initial visit, our dentist will examine your gums, review your dental history, and discuss your treatment goals to determine if gingivectomy is the right procedure for you.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia will be administered to numb the area of treatment to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
Procedure: The dentist will carefully remove excess gum tissue from the targeted arch, reshaping the gums to achieve the desired contour. In some cases, a laser may be used for a more precise and less invasive treatment.
Post-Procedure Care: After the gingivectomy, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions to help promote healing and avoid complications. Some swelling and discomfort may occur, but it can typically be managed with prescribed medications and follow-up visits.
