Gingivectomy | Crown Lengthening

What is Gingivectomy and Crown Lengthening?

Gingivectomy and crown lengthening are procedures that reshape the gum and sometimes the underlying bone to remove diseased tissue or expose more of a tooth. Gingivectomy is often used to treat overgrown or inflamed gums, whether caused by plaque, medications or other factors. Crown lengthening is typically performed to provide enough tooth structure for a new crown or to improve the proportions of the smile by reducing excessive gum display.

Why Choose Gingivectomy and Crown Lengthening at Inci Dis?

At Inci Dis, careful planning is essential before any gum or bone is removed. We use clinical measurements, photos and, when appropriate, digital imaging to determine how much tissue should be adjusted while keeping the biological width healthy and stable. Many cases can be treated with diode laser or minimally invasive techniques that reduce bleeding, swelling and sensitivity compared with traditional surgery and that shorten recovery time.

How the Process Works

These procedures are frequently combined with restorative or cosmetic work. For example, crown lengthening may be carried out a few weeks before placing veneers or zirconia crowns so that the final result looks natural and stable at the gum line. Our team will explain the expected healing timeline, how many visits you will need and how this fits into your travel schedule, so that you have enough time for both surgery and final restorations within your stay in Istanbul.
