Deer Park, Pasadena Texas Dentist: Gingivectomy
A Gingivectomy is a procedure that removes excess tissue from around the teeth. Dr. Nugent uses a laser to perform the tissue removal, as the laser is more gentle to the tissue than a scalpel blade. When excess tissue is around the teeth, it makes the teeth look short and non-proportional. By removing the extra tissue, the teeth are more cosmetic.
Pasadena, TX Gingivectomy Services by Dr. Michael Nugent
A healthy smile is about more than just teeth—your gums play a crucial role too. At our Pasadena dental office, Dr. Michael Nugent offers gingivectomy procedures to remove excess or diseased gum tissue and restore optimal gum health.
A gingivectomy is often recommended for patients with advanced gum disease (periodontitis) or for cosmetic gum reshaping. The procedure helps reduce bacterial pockets and makes it easier to keep your mouth clean and healthy. It can also improve the appearance of a “gummy smile” by recontouring the gum line for a more balanced and aesthetic look.
Using precise and gentle techniques, Dr. Nugent ensures that every gingivectomy is comfortable, safe, and effective. With years of experience and a strong focus on patient care, you can trust our team to restore your oral health with minimal discomfort and excellent results.
