Types of Gum Surgery 1. Gingival Flap Surgery – If pockets are greater than 5 millimeters in depth, the periodontist would conduct this procedure to reduce the periodontal pockets that were noted in a patients chart. Most patients who have been diagnosed with moderate to severe periodontitis would go through this procedure.  2. Gingivectomy  – This procedure is conducted to remove excess gum tissue that may be overgrown on the teeth to provide a better area to clean the teeth.  3.Gingivoplasty  – This type of gum surgery is used to reshape healthy gum tissue around the teeth to make them look better. If a person has tooth recession where the gum is pushed away from the tooth, a gingivoplasty can be done. .
