Gum surgery isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s a vital treatment for restoring and protecting your oral health. At Aurora North Dental, we offer comprehensive gum surgery options to address issues such as gum disease, gum recession, and excessive gum tissue. Our goal is to help you maintain a healthy mouth while giving you a smile you’ll feel confident about.
Our practice in Aurora provides a full range of gum surgery treatments, each tailored to suit your specific condition and goals. Whether you’re dealing with periodontal disease or looking to improve the symmetry of your smile, we offer solutions that combine medical precision with aesthetic care.
Ideal for patients with advanced gum disease, gingival flap surgery involves gently lifting the gum tissue to deeply clean around the roots of your teeth. This allows us to remove plaque and bacteria that are unreachable with routine cleanings. It’s often the first step in preparing your gums for additional treatments like grafting, and it plays a key role in stopping the progression of periodontal disease.
If you have too much gum tissue, often referred to as a “gummy smile”, a gingivectomy can help. This procedure carefully removes the excess tissue, improving the look of your smile while also making it easier to keep your teeth clean. It’s particularly useful for patients whose gums have become overgrown due to medications or underlying health issues.
Unlike a gingivectomy, which removes gum tissue, gingivoplasty reshapes the gums for a more symmetrical and refined appearance. This cosmetic procedure enhances the contour of your gum line and is ideal if you’re looking to improve how your smile looks without necessarily removing excess tissue.
For patients with gum recession or bone loss due to gum disease, regenerative procedures can promote natural healing. This includes gum grafting, where we transplant tissue to areas with significant recession. These procedures not only restore the function and appearance of your gums but also help rebuild the structural foundation of your smile.
Crown lengthening is performed when there isn’t enough exposed tooth above the gum line for a crown or filling. By removing a small amount of gum tissue, and sometimes bone, we can provide the space needed to restore a damaged tooth. It’s also a great option for correcting a gummy smile and improving the proportion of your teeth.
Every patient’s journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and exam. We’ll assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate gum surgery, whether that’s gum grafting, gingivectomy, or another approach. Our treatment plans are customized to give you the best possible results in both health and appearance.
To ensure your comfort, we use local anesthesia to numb the area before starting the procedure. For grafting procedures, we may take tissue from another part of your mouth or use a synthetic alternative. The graft is then precisely placed to rebuild the receded gum line and protect the tooth roots.
When the goal is to remove excess tissue, such as in a gingivectomy, we make precise incisions to reshape the gum line. The area is then cleaned and sutured as needed. This not only improves the look of your smile but also helps prevent future gum issues.
We’ll guide you through every step of your recovery. After surgery, we provide detailed instructions on how to care for your gums, including brushing techniques, dietary recommendations, and any necessary medications to manage discomfort and reduce the risk of infection.

Proper aftercare is essential for healing. Use a soft toothbrush and avoid brushing near the surgical site at first. Follow your dentist’s guidance on reintroducing brushing, and rinse with a saltwater solution or prescribed mouthwash. Stick to soft foods, avoid smoking, and skip straws to prevent disturbing the healing tissue. Regular follow ups are essential to track your progress and ensure everything is healing as expected.
