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
Pleasant atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Garcia takes the time to explain the proper steps for each procedure. No nonsense.
My son was born missing nine adult teeth, and as his baby teeth began to fall out, it became an emotional struggle for him. He stopped smiling and grew very self-conscious about the gaps where his adult teeth never came in. As a mom, that was incredibly hard to watch. In 2023, our dentist recommended we speak with an orthodontist to create a long-term plan to restore his smile. By November 2023, he had braces put on to begin straightening his teeth and creating space for future implants.We were then referred to Dr. Gracia at Advanced Dental in Norton, and from the very first consultation, we knew we were in the right hands. Dr. Gracia was compassionate, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain every step of the process. Most importantly, he gave my son confidence and hope again.Dr. Gracia set a goal of having temporary teeth in place by Christmas—and he made it happen. Seeing my son smile again during the holidays meant everything. The entire team at Advanced Dental is outstanding. From the welcoming front desk staff to the dental assistants, office managers, and Anesthesiologists —everyone is kind, professional, and truly passionate about what they do. Thanks to Dr. Gracia and his team, my son has his SMILE back and his confidence. I am beyond grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dental care.
Met my new hygienist Dee. Very friendly, did a great job with my visit. Also Dr Nick called me to back same day to go over a question. He was Very responsive, honest and helpful.
I have been a patient at Advanced Dental for over 30 yrs , I can’t say enough about their incredible staff and Dr Garcia the foundation of his team is not only an amazing dentist, but wonderful caring individual I consider my friend. Thank you
Friendly, Professional and very knowledgeable. I go to Advance Dental Care, and have been for 20 years, because this staff stays on top of all the latest procedures, certified in so many areas. That knowledge allows me to put my complete trust and confidence in them. I have had my share of dental work done, and sure I get anxious, but there is never a need. Once the procedure is over, I feel foolish for being scared. I would never change to another practice.
