Gum Reduction

Explainer Video

Gum reduction, also known as gingivectomy, is a dental procedure aimed at reshaping or removing excess gum tissue to improve the appearance of a gummy smile or to prepare teeth for further dental treatment. This cosmetic and therapeutic procedure can significantly enhance one’s smile by exposing more of the natural tooth, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Ideal for individuals with excessive gum coverage due to genetics, health conditions, or medications, gum reduction can also help in improving oral health by facilitating easier cleaning of the teeth and gums.

Frequently asked questions
and their answers

Gum reduction, also known as gum contouring or reshaping, is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves removing excess gum tissue to improve the appearance of the gums and teeth.

The duration of the gum reduction procedure can vary depending on the extent of the treatment and the specific techniques used. In general, the procedure may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

Gum reduction is typically performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the gums and minimizes pain during the procedure.

The recovery time for gum reduction is relatively short. Patients may experience some mild swelling and discomfort for a few days following the procedure.

After gum reduction, it’s important to follow the dentist’s recommendations for post-operative care.

The results of gum reduction are generally long-lasting, providing an improved gum line and enhanced smile aesthetics.
