The first step in a gingivectomy is a thorough and proper tooth cleaning. This will remove any tartar build-up and ensure that your teeth are free from plaque. Next, you will receive a local anesthetic, and your highly trained and qualified Zara dentist will remove the gum tissue using specialized scalpels. Depending on how much tissue is being removed, the procedure can take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours. As always, your friendly staff at Zara Dental will make sure that you have a complete understanding of what to expect throughout the treatment process.

Following the procedure, you will need to be on a soft food diet for approximately ten days, and it is highly important that your mouth remains clean during the healing period.
