A typical estimate for a gingivectomy (gum lift) in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If one tooth is treated with standard materials, your bill is likely to be closer to $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 lakh) if several teeth are treated, a higher-grade implant system or ceramic is chosen, or treatment is spread over several visits.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for a gingivectomy (gum lift), check whether each quote includes:

• Examination and X-rays or scans
• Laboratory work and materials
• Each treatment visit
• Review appointments

A gingivectomy (gum lift) takes away and reshapes surplus gum tissue, either to treat gum disease or overgrowth or to correct a gummy smile.

A gingivectomy treats gum overgrowth caused by certain medicines or inflammation, reduces deep pockets in gum disease, reshapes a gummy smile and exposes more tooth before crowns are made.

Cleveland Clinic says laser therapy can remove diseased gum tissue without cutting, although it works less well in advanced gum disease, and that recovery from gum surgery takes about 1 to 4 weeks.

With local anaesthetic, surplus gum is taken out with a scalpel or laser and the margin is shaped, sometimes under a protective dressing, and the majority of people resume normal activity the next day.

Soreness lasts a few days, and overgrowth can return if its cause is not dealt with.

Flying home: most dental treatment has no effect on flying, though implants and other staged work need healing time between appointments, so plan each trip around that.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Gurgaon was officially renamed Gurugram by the Haryana government in 2016, so hospital letters, maps and taxi apps may use either name.
