Yes, surgery can fix overgrown gums. Common options include:
1. **Gum Contouring (Gingivectomy)**: Removes excess gum tissue to restore a natural gum line.
2. **Laser Gum Surgery**: Uses a laser to remove tissue, offering quicker healing and less discomfort.
3. **Crown Lengthening**: Removes gum tissue to expose more of the tooth, improving crown fit and appearance.
Recovery typically takes a few days to a week. Consult your dentist for the best option and cost for your case.

most certainly the process is called gingivectomy which is surgical removal of excessive gums
Yes, surgery can fix overgrown gums. However, the cause of the overgrown gums should be determined first, so as to help it from reoccurring. The tissue can be removed with a scalpel, or with a laser. Laser removal tends to be less painful, and heals faster.
Yes, it can. It's one of the possible solutions to hypertrophic gingiva. However, sometimes there are underlying conditions that cause this "overgrowth." A thorough evaluation and consultation with the dentist is highly recommended.

It depends.
But probably yes!
If the overgrowth is caused only by local factors removing the irritation and the overgrowth of tissue will work!
Proper hygiene is essential!!
