What is a Gingivectomy?

A gingivectomy is a surgical procedure where the gingival pockets that have formed around teeth due to periodontal disease are removed. This prevents bacteria, plaque and debris from getting into those pockets and causing further problems with the gums. The gingivectomy is also essential for removing infected and inflamed gum tissue.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Gingivectomy?

A thorough examination is needed to determine if you will benefit from having a gingivectomy done. Because the procedure is a surgery, you should expect to have about one month where you will need to follow aftercare cleansing instructions to ensure the success of the procedure. Some of the best candidates for a gingivectomy include:

Patients with periodontal disease and deep gingival pockets
Patients who are able to have oral surgery done without the risk of complications
Patients who are looking to put an end to their periodontal disease

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The most efficient and kind dentist and staff out there! I can't recommend them highly enough. I love the personal touch they bring to every appointment — they truly make you feel like family. Recently, I had a cap replaced, and it was amazing to watch them create the new cap right there in the office, all in one visit. No waiting for a lab! They also filled a cavity for my daughter, and the way they handled her fear of needles was incredible — so gentle and reassuring. If you're looking for top-notch dental care with a team that genuinely cares, this is the place! John Mc. Centennial, CO

I chipped my front 2 teeth a year ago and was not satisfied at all with the work done at another dentist in Fort Collins. I came here and had a great experience! The staff are all very kind and understanding. I ended up getting 2 veneers and the process was mostly pain-free and my teeth look 100x better than they did before! The entire staff is very skilled, I will definitely be coming back here for anything I need 👍
