Before a gingivectomy
To perform a gingivectomy in Turkey, the patient must first undergo a medical examination. The latter will allow the dental surgeon to make a state of the patient's gums before being able to propose a diagnosis which will be followed by a treatment plan in line with the patient's situation.
This is also an opportunity for the specialist to inform you of all the financial costs and duration relating to the operation. He will also proceed to inform you and reassure you of the possible risks. Before proceeding with the intervention, the dental surgeon must carry out a thorough cleaning of your teeth.
The objective of cleaning is the elimination of dental plaque, the facilitation of the operation and the reduction of inflammation.
The intervention takes place in most cases under the local anesthesia of your gums. The duration will be determined by the volume of the tissue located at the level of the gums to be eliminated.
Gum surgery procedure
The main objective of gingivectomy in Turkey is to harmonize and improve the patient's smile by removing part of the gum tissue around one or even several teeth.
To remove excess gingival tissue from the patient, two techniques can be used depending on the case:
In the case of gingival hypertrophy, the internal bevel technique will be used. The external bevel technique is used when the height of the gingiva is quite high.
It must be emphasized that the external bevel incision technique can cause much greater bleeding which can be reduced by hemostasis techniques
