This Doctor is a true healer!I had a wonderful opportunity to see Dr. Bembey! She really knows her stuff! I felt like she had my best interests in mind and she took her time and listened with an open mind and an open heart. I have some really tough dental issues, and she completely understood everything that I was going through and was able to guide me in the right direction. So great full of for her kindness and compassion. -Shanon E., June 2023 Read More Reviews Listen to Our Patient Stories |

When you have gum disease, a dentist can recommend a gingivectomy. This procedure involves the removal of the extra gum tissues and prevents future damage. You can also undergo the procedure for cosmetic reasons, such as to improve your smile. A periodontist can discover an infection in your gum during dental checkups or cleaning. They can advise you to undergo this procedure to save you from gum diseases that damage the teeth bone. The procedure enhances the visibility and accessibility of your teeth, which ease cleaning. It also improves gingival healing and prevents plaque formation.
