Reveal a Healthier, More Balanced Smile with Gentle Gum Contouring
At Smiles by Nikki, we specialize in transforming uneven or excessive gum tissue through gentle gingivectomy procedures. This advanced gum contouring technique removes overgrown tissue to reveal more natural tooth structure, improving both oral health and smile aesthetics.
We’ll guarantee your comfort with local anesthesia during the 30-60 minute procedure, and you’ll see results in just two weeks. Let us show you how a balanced gum line can enhance your confidence and overall appearance.
Understanding Gingivectomy and How It Improves Gum Health
When excess gum tissue affects your smile’s appearance or oral health, a gingivectomy offers an effective solution to reshape and restore proper gum contours.
During this precise procedure, we carefully remove overgrown gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth structure and create a healthier gum line. A gingivectomy can address several concerns, including “gummy” smiles where too much gum tissue shows when you smile, or cases where excess gum tissue makes proper oral hygiene difficult. We’ll evaluate your specific needs during your consultation to determine if this procedure is right for you.
At our practice, we guarantee your comfort throughout the gingivectomy process. Dr. Nikki Sangha’s expertise and our modern techniques help deliver superior results while minimizing recovery time, letting you enjoy your enhanced smile sooner.

When a Gingivectomy May Be Recommended by Your Orthodontist
Your orthodontist might recommend a gingivectomy in several specific scenarios that impact both oral health and smile aesthetics.
We commonly suggest this gum reshaping procedure when patients have excess gum tissue that makes teeth appear shorter than normal or creates an uneven gum line. This condition can affect your confidence and make proper oral hygiene challenging.
We’ll also recommend a gingivectomy if you’re experiencing gum overgrowth due to certain medications, genetic factors, or as a response to orthodontic treatment. The procedure may be necessary when deep gum pockets form, creating spaces where bacteria can accumulate and potentially lead to periodontal disease. At Smiles by Nikki, we carefully evaluate each case to guarantee a gingivectomy is the right solution for your specific needs.
What to Expect Before, During, and After a Gingivectomy Procedure
Before scheduling a gingivectomy procedure, we’ll conduct a thorough examination of your oral health and review your medical history to confirm you’re a suitable candidate.
During the consultation, we’ll explain the process and address any concerns you may have about the treatment.
The gingivectomy itself is performed under local anesthesia to guarantee your comfort. We’ll carefully remove excess gum tissue and reshape your gumline to achieve the best results. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on how much tissue needs to be removed.
After your gingivectomy, you can expect some mild discomfort and swelling for a few days. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions, including proper cleaning techniques and dietary recommendations. Most patients return to their normal activities within 24-48 hours, with complete healing occurring within two weeks.
How Gum Contouring Enhances the Balance and Beauty of Your Smile
Gum contouring through gingivectomy can dramatically transform the overall aesthetics of your smile.
When excess gum tissue covers too much of your teeth, it can create what’s known as a “gummy smile,” making teeth appear shorter than they actually are. Through precise gum contouring, we carefully reshape your gum line to reveal more of your natural tooth structure.
We’re committed to creating balanced, beautiful smiles that enhance your facial features. By adjusting the proportion between your teeth and gums, we can help you achieve a more harmonious smile that looks natural and appealing. The results of gum contouring are permanent, giving you lasting confidence in your appearance.
