Gingivectomy in Palanpur | Laser Gum Treatment at Astha Dental Clinic

What is Gingivectomy?

Restoring Gum Health and Aesthetics
At Astha Multi Speciality Dental Clinic, Palanpur, Gingivectomy is offered as an effective solution to treat abnormally enlarged gums (gingiva). This condition may arise due to poor oral hygiene, long-term use of certain medications, or underlying gum disease. Gingivectomy involves trimming and reshaping the excess gum tissue to restore a healthier appearance and prevent further oral issues.
The procedure is usually performed by a periodontist (gum specialist). In many cases, dental lasers are used to perform the treatment painlessly and with minimal bleeding.

How is Gingivectomy Done?

Initially, scaling (professional cleaning) is carried out using an ultrasonic scaler to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth.
In the next sitting, the area is numbed using local anesthesia (though lasers may reduce or eliminate the need for it).
The diseased or overgrown gum tissue is carefully trimmed or vaporized using surgical tools or lasers.
The remaining gum tissue is contoured for a clean, natural look.
A periodontal dressing (putty-like substance) is placed over the surgical site to protect it during the healing process.

Why is Gingivectomy Necessary?

Overgrown gums can appear red, swollen, and may bleed frequently. They can trap bacteria, causing further oral damage and making your smile appear puffy or uneven. Gingivectomy helps by:

Treating bleeding gums
Reducing gum overgrowth to normal size
Enhancing smile aesthetics and gum symmetry
Preventing bacterial buildup in excess tissue
Improving overall oral hygiene and comfort

Whether the cause is medication-induced or due to tartar accumulation, gingivectomy restores health and beauty to your gums.
