Gingivectomy - Tavares, FL

Gingivectomies are performed for both health-related and cosmetic reasons. Depending on your goals, this simple procedure can address several common concerns:

Pre Treatment Prep for Crowns and Veneers

Placing crowns or porcelain veneers on teeth covered by uneven or excess gum tissue can result in short looking restorations or unnatural margins. Sculpting the gumline before restorative or cosmetic work ensures superior, long lasting outcomes:

• Ideal Proportions and Length: Exposes the true vertical height of your teeth so your new veneers or crowns look natural, elongated, and elegant rather than short or bulky.

• Symmetrical Gumline Framework: Establishes a clean, level arch so every restoration sits in harmony with neighboring teeth.

• Flawless Margins and Fit: Allows your dentist to place the edges or margins of your crowns or veneers precisely at or slightly below the gumline for a seamless, natural transition that is easy to keep clean.

Cosmetic Tooth Lengthening and Gummy Smile Correction

If your natural teeth appear short or square, you do not necessarily have small teeth, they may just be covered up. By carefully sculpting the gumline, we expose the full length of your natural enamel to correct a gummy smile and create a fuller, balanced appearance.

Exposing Structure for Restorations

If a tooth is broken, severely worn, or decayed near or below the gumline, a gingivectomy reveals clean tooth structure so crowns, fillings, or other dental restorations can sit securely and comfortably.
