Gingivectomy is a simple procedure as well, but it differs from gingivoplasty because the height of the gum on the tooth is modified. These approaches are mainly used for esthetic purposes.<\/p>\n<p>It is sometimes necessary, for esthetic or functional reasons, to remove enlarged tissue covering tooth enamel, as it can hinder cleaning or mar the smile\u2019s appearance. The goal is to make the gums look more natural, help them stay healthy and give you a great smile.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PpGZZZnaJeU\">Gingivoplasty and gingivectomy
