Gingivectomy & Gingivoplasty

Gingivectomy removes and reshapes loose, diseased gum tissue to get rid of pockets between the teeth and gums. Gingivoplasty is the surgical reshaping of gum tissue around the teeth. It is often is done simply to make gums look better. They may have an unusual shape or may not be formed normally.

Before & After Results

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the procedure?

The dentist reshapes the damaged or adjacent teeth, takes an impression (or digital scan), then fits a temporary restoration. Once the lab creates your custom crown or bridge, you return for final placement and adjustments.

When do I need a crown or a bridge?

You may need a crown if a tooth is cracked, has large decay, or has undergone root canal treatment. A bridge may be needed if you’re missing one or more teeth and want to restore function and appearance.

Are there different materials to choose from?

Yes. We offer a range of material options:

  • Crowns:
    Full Metal, Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM), and Full Ceramic / Zirconia

  • Bridges:
    Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) and Full Ceramic / Zirconia

Our dentist will recommend the most suitable option based on function, durability, and aesthetics.

How long do crowns & bridges last?

​With good care—regular brushing/flossing, avoiding very hard or sticky foods—they can last 10 years or more. The exact lifespan depends on material, bite forces and maintenance.

What should I expect after treatment?

You might feel mild sensitivity for a short time after placement. Maintain excellent oral hygiene, and attend follow‑up visits to check fit and health of the restoration and surrounding gum/tissue.
