What Is a Gingivectomy?
Let’s start by getting a bit of our inner dentist detective out. Imagine for a moment your teeth were tiny mountains hiding under puffy pink clouds. That’s what it’s about a “gummy smile.”
When the gums are covering too much of your teeth, or when gum disease causes the tissue to grow too thick, the best solution will be a gingivectomy.
In other words, the definition of a gingivectomy is the removal of excessive gum tissue. This is usually done to:
1. Treat gum disease and remove deep pockets beneath the gums.
2. Decrease the appearance of a “gummy smile.”
3. Allow your dentist to access areas of your tooth that are decayed or broken for crowns or fillings.
You can also think of a gingivectomy as a little makeover for your gums as if your smile has gone from “shy” to “showstopper.”
Gingivectomy Treatment Pricing in Hyderabad
Let’s discuss the pricing that’s the real question that’s on everyone’s mind when they walk through the doors at Partha Dental.
There are many factors that may affect the pricing of gingivectomy, such as:
- Extent of gum overgrowth (minor trimming versus a full quadrant)
- Number of teeth involved
- Laser versus traditional surgery
- Cost of the clinic and expertise of the doctor
If bone reshaping is required

Crown Lengthening vs. Gingivectomy – What’s the difference?
This is very confusing for patients. To put it in simple terms, gingivectomy is taking away some of the extra tissue of the gum for cosmetic reasons or very mild gum disease, crown lengthening is a process that is done to remove tissue and bone around the tooth to expose more of the tooth structure, and is done if someone needs a crown or for decay that goes below the gum line.
So if your dentist tells you they are doing bone work, you have upgraded from a simple gingivectomy, to a crown lengthening protocol.
Don’t worry – We explain exactly what we are doing, and why, at our clinic.
Gingivectomy vs. Gingivoplasty – A tale of two “Gingis”
Although they sound similar, they’re not synonymous.
Gingivectomy: the excision of additional gum tissue (as a medical procedure for gum disease or overgrowth)
Gingivoplasty: the shaping and contouring of the gums for aesthetic purposes (a cosmetic procedure).
We frequently do both. To get rid of the tissue you don’t need a gingivectomy, and we can sculpt your gum tissue beautifully with gingivoplasty. The result? A gorgeous, symmetrical, natural-smile.
7 Hilarious (But True!) Reasons People Put Off Gingivectomy
1. Compared to trauma, in a clinic, it shouldn’t bleed too much! It solely bleeds a tad, and it’s actually controlled by us.
2. “I am scared of needles!” Not a problem. The anesthesia feels very smooth and you’ll hardly even feel it.
3. “Recovering takes forever.” Not when you can eat soft food and have your smile back in a couple of days
4. “The procedure costs too much.” The “expensive” adds value to your smile.
5. “My gums will look strange.” “No they will not look strange! They will look cleaner, healthier, shaped.”
6. “I can live with my gummy smile.” True, but why are you not upgrading. It’s worth the investment!
7. “My dentist always has hidden costs,” Not at Partha Dental we are as transparent as a dental mirror.

FAQs
A: Yes, there is no pain! It is done with local anaesthesia, and although you may have sore gums to some extent, you would manage with painkillers, and no worries.
A: If it is medically necessary for the treatment of periodontal disease, insurance may pay for it. Cosmetic gingivectomy would not be covered.
A: It would really depend on your case. Gingivectomy would be best for removal of excess gum alone, while crown lengthening does the work of bone in addition and adds length of visible tooth structure.
A: We have clinics all around Hyderabad, so you can find expert care of your gums nearby
