Gum cutting, also known as gum reshaping or gingivectomy, is a dental procedure used to remove excess gum tissue and improve gum health and smile appearance. It is commonly done to treat gum disease, reduce deep gum pockets, or correct a gummy smile. The procedure can be performed using traditional methods or laser technology, which helps reduce pain, bleeding, and healing time. Gum cutting makes teeth look more proportionate, improves oral hygiene, and enhances overall smile aesthetics.
