Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty are periodontal procedures performed to address certain gum conditions and enhance the aesthetics of the gums.

Gingivectomy involves the surgical removal of excess gum tissue that may be causing gum pockets, making it difficult to clean and leading to gum disease. It is commonly performed to treat periodontal disease or to create a healthier gum line.

Gingivoplasty, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and contours the gum tissue to improve its appearance and create a more harmonious smile. It may be performed to correct an uneven gum line, excessive gum display, or to enhance the symmetry and balance of the gums.

Both procedures are typically done under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Our experienced periodontists at Bridge Street Dental Center utilize advanced techniques and precision to perform gingivectomy and gingivoplasty, helping to improve the health and aesthetics of your gums. Contact us to schedule a consultation and explore how these procedures can benefit you.

Very friendly staff, personal attention and thorough dental exam and cleaning! I just returned home with a crown, and wanted to add how concerned he was that it fit properly. He is just as personable as he is professional, and his helper and I can chat, just like old friends! I highly recommend Dr Purvis and bridge Street dental.

I had nothing but a great experience from the moment  I called the dental office at Bridge Street Dental Center.  I am a current employee at UPMC and was searching for dentists and so happy I found this place.  Everyone is so kind and welcoming .  The woman who cleaned my teeth did went above and beyond.  I'm so happy I found this place.  I love the atmosphere and everyone is so kind.
