Tired of your smile showing too much of your gums? This phenomenon, called a gummy smile, is more common than you might think. It usually occurs when the gums are too large or too small. In addition to being unattractive, it can make brushing more difficult and can lead to long-term dental problems.

Gingivectomy is an effective solution that removes excess gum tissue. This redefines the gum line, creating a more natural, balanced smile and making dental hygiene easier.

Because your smile deserves to be as unique as you are, this personalized approach naturally restores confidence while protecting your gums. Simple, fast and long-lasting, it could be the key to a smile that's finally free.

Risks and Side Effects

  • Bleeding.
  • Pain.

Among our doctors for your Gingivectomy

When is gingivectomy indicated?

Gingivectomy may be recommended in several situations, especially when gums take up too much space or interfere with oral health. The most common conditions are:

On the other hand, gingival grafting may be considered for gingival recession (receding or drooping gums).

The correct diagnosis can only be made after a thorough examination. A qualified dental surgeon will evaluate your situation and guide you to the most appropriate treatment.

You can now request a free video consultation with one of our partner specialists in Turkey for an initial personalized consultation.

Contraindications to gingivectomy

There are no absolute contraindications for gingivectomy. However, certain conditions may compromise the success of the procedure if not addressed beforehand. Therefore, a thorough evaluation is essential before considering this type of surgery.

Situations that may make gingivectomy less effective or inappropriate include:

These factors will be systematically checked during your first consultation with our dentists in Turkey. This is an important step to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your treatment.

What are the different gum surgery techniques?

If you're considering a gingivectomy to improve the aesthetics of your smile or to treat a gum problem, it's important to understand the different options available to you, depending on your needs.

It's important to consult with a qualified dentist or periodontist before deciding which technique is right for you. Together, you can determine the best method for your situation, taking into account your goals and desired results.

The preoperative phase of gingivectomy

Before your surgery, we place special emphasis on customizing your treatment for both aesthetic and functional results. During your pre-surgical consultation in Turkey, your dentist will perform a comprehensive oral health examination. Our team will carefully evaluate the condition of your gums, accurately measure your periodontal pockets, and check for any contraindications to the procedure.

This important step allows us to create a personalized treatment plan that is perfectly tailored to your clinical situation and aesthetic goals. We take special care to understand your expectations so that we can offer you the most natural and harmonious solution possible.

For even greater precision, we can use digital simulation (Smile Design). This innovative technology allows you to visualize the final result before surgery. If necessary, a customized surgical guide will be made to optimize the precision of the gesture during the operation.

We take the time to explain each step of the procedure, answer any questions you may have, and give you clear instructions for the post-operative period. Our goal is to ensure that you approach this procedure with complete peace of mind and a full understanding of the procedure and expected results.

Scalpel gingivectomy procedure in Turkey

The scalpel gingivectomy procedure is performed under local gum anesthesia. Using a periodontal probe, the dentist takes measurements to determine the depth of the bleeding gum pockets (periodontitis) and the size of the excess gum (gingival hyperplasia).

Next, the dentist uses an angled blade to make incisions along a line parallel to the bleeding areas. The incision is made along a continuous line in the gum.

Finally, the dentist sutures the gum at the level of the taste buds.

Possible risks and complications of gingivectomy

Like all surgical procedures, gingivectomy carries certain risks and side effects, although these are generally rare and manageable. It's important to be aware of these so that you can approach the procedure with peace of mind.

In the short term, you may experience:

In the long term, although rare, certain complications may occur, such as

These complications are exceptional, especially if the surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon and you follow the post-operative recommendations carefully. Your dental surgeon in Turkey will take all necessary measures to limit these risks and will guide you with a comprehensive care protocol to ensure a quick and optimal recovery.

If you experience any abnormal or persistent symptoms after surgery, consult your dentist as soon as possible. Early treatment can effectively resolve most of these problems.
