When smiling, some people show a larger than usual amount of gum. This predominance of gum makes the teeth appear too short or too small. This is known as a gummy smile, and for many it is simply a characteristic feature of their smile and even a sign of identity. For others, however, it is an aesthetic problem that can lead to problems of confidence and self-esteem. If you want to solve it, cosmetic gingivectomy is your treatment.
Cosmetic gingivectomy is a key procedure to improve both the health of your gums and the aesthetics of your smile. It is a quick and simple small surgical intervention that consists of slightly trimming the gum surrounding the tooth to expose the teeth and thus achieve a much more proportionate and harmonious smile, with teeth that give the impression of being the right size and less square. It is performed under local anesthesia and is completely painless, and very noticeable and satisfactory results can be seen very quickly.
The only visible sign in the postoperative period, in some cases, is a hematoma and swelling of the gums that usually disappears after two weeks. The slight discomfort that the patient may experience after the operation can be easily minimized with an analgesic medication.

In most cases, it takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete a gingivectomy procedure. If you need a gingivectomy on several teeth, it may take slightly longer.
On average, it takes approximately one week for the gums to heal after a gingivectomy.
You can expect to have some degree of discomfort after gingivectomy. You can control pain and other side effects with pain medication prescribed by your dentist. If you have taken your medication as directed and still have pain, call your surgeon.
No, the results of gingivectomy are permanent when a skilled surgeon performs the procedure.
