What Is Periodontal Surgery?
At Advanced Dental Care of Norton, periodontal surgery is performed by a skilled dental team focused on restoring gum health and improving appearance in a calm, welcoming setting. Gum surgery addresses concerns related to infection, excess tissue, and uneven gumlines. It includes cosmetic periodontal surgery, crown lengthening, and gingivectomy, each selected to improve function and create a balanced look. Treatment may also be recommended as part of advanced gum disease surgery or to prepare teeth for future restorations. Schedule a consultation with our Norton, MA team to learn how treatment can improve your oral health.
What Should I Expect from Periodontal Surgery?
Each procedure is planned with precision and guided by modern imaging and our refined surgical techniques. Comfort remains a priority throughout each visit, with sedation options available to help you stay relaxed. Cosmetic periodontal surgery focuses on reshaping the gumline. This type of gingival surgery gently removes or adjusts tissue to create smoother contours. It is often used for gum contouring for a more even smile, helping teeth appear more proportionate. Crown lengthening exposes more of the natural tooth structure. This is often needed before placing a crown or other restoration. The crown lengthening procedure for dental crowns improves fit and long-term stability by carefully adjusting the surrounding gum and bone. A gingivectomy removes excess or overgrown gum tissue. Gingivectomy treatment for gum overgrowth reduces pockets where bacteria can collect. This procedure improves access to daily hygiene and refines the gumline for a cleaner, more even appearance.

Advanced Dental Care of Norton Reviews
Always excellent care, caring team.
Yes! Dr. Gracia and Samer were great!I am a total disaster as a patient and they did an awesome job with an extraction and two fillings, all with me being awake.Even cleanings are painful, but Dee listened to me, addressed my concerns, and I made it through with minimal discomfort. (I am the original Sensodyne kid, okay?)The rest of the staff are really accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. What more can you ask, eh?Yes, I will be back to address some prior existing implant issues, for sure, and probably another cleaning.-Deb. 4/9/2026Update 11/5/2026 - yup, went back for a cleaning and again, Dee a great. So, I made an appointment for another one in 6 months.
I have been with Dr. Gracia for a couple years now. I walked in there 2 years ago defeated and didn’t think anyone could help get my smile back. Well I was wrong, he has exceeded my expectations and now I don’t stop smiling. Thank you Dr. Gracia and all the staff also RJ for giving me my smile back. Highly recommend.
