Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty in Great Neck

What is a Periodontal Gingivectomy?

A periodontal gingivectomy reduces excessive gum tissue, fixing what is commonly known as a gummy smile. Many patients want more tooth exposed, rather than excess gumline, so a periodontal gingivectomy provides that.

What is Gingivoplasty Surgery?

If you want to reshape your gums, this is the procedure we recommend. Your skilled periodontist will remove and recontour your gum tissue to provide you with the beautiful smile you want. Not only does a gingivoplasty procedure improve your smile, but it can also improve your oral health. Although this procedure may not be appropriate for some patients, your periodontist can recommend alternatives to help you achieve the beautiful smile you want.

When you come to our Great Neck office for your consultation, your periodontist will examine your teeth and gums to determine the best treatment for you. At that time, we'll provide you with instructions on preparing for the procedure, what to expect during it, and what to expect afterward.

At Steven I. Cooper, DMD, we always want to provide the best outcome for our patient family, and we strive to make your experience as pleasant as possible. To that end, we use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure patient comfort before, during, and after their procedure. We gladly answer any and all questions and encourage you to ask questions about anything you're not sure of.
