Gingivectomy Surgery
If you have excess gum tissue, gingivectomy surgery can help. This periodontal procedure can be useful both cosmetically and for your health.
Who’s a Good Candidate for a Gingivectomy?
There are several reasons why someone might want to get rid of excessive gum tissue:
- Cosmetics – Excess gums can make teeth look short. Removing the tissue helps your smile appear more proportional.
- Gingival Overgrowth – Sometimes, gums grow excessively due to medications (e.g., high blood pressure medication). This growth can make it difficult to properly take care of your teeth, so we’ll remove it.
- Periodontal Health – Removing excess gum tissue can help us address deep gum pockets. If this is the goal, we may also need to perform some bone work.

REQUEST APPOINTMENTWhat to Expect When Getting a Gingivectomy
Before we begin the procedure, we will anesthetize the area. Then, we’ll get rid of any excess gum tissue.
Typically, patients don’t need any sutures. While your mouth may be sore for one or two days, you can use medication to alleviate any discomfort.
We’ll schedule a second appointment a week after the procedure. This allows us to check your gums and make sure everything is healing appropriately.

“I’m very glad I discovered Dr. Ferber. I came to him because I had a multitude of dental problems. The teeth were just a disaster, and I was totally embarrassed to smile. I kept replacing teeth and going in for crowns and root canals. Finally, I decided I wanted to go for a full-mouth implant. I wish I had done this many years ago. The results are just exemplary. If you’re suffering like I was for many, many years, do not hesitate.”
“People ask me all the time where I got my new smile done and I tell them Dr. Ferber. Before I got the work done, I didn’t feel very confident. I didn’t want anyone to see me smile. And now, I love to smile, and I get so many compliments on my smile. It was an easy, painless experience. The staff was great, and the price was right.”
“Dr. Ferber really knows his stuff. Since I had my teeth really done over, I have my smile back. And I have my giggle back! I would say that anybody questioning what they should do, they should come here. The whole team treats you like you’re family. They’re warm and they care.”
