Gum Aesthetics

Ensuring aesthetics with gum arrangements: Tooth and gum aesthetics, which are called pink and white aesthetics, are of great importance for a beautiful smile.

The process of reshaping the gum, also known as “gingivectomy”, is a method we frequently use in aesthetic dental treatments. In this procedure, which is applied with the electrosurgical method without cutting and stitching, the gum shape is handled as a whole and the irregular gum appearance that appears in the smile can be eliminated. In addition, it is a treatment method applied regionally in case of short tooth lengths.

Gummy Smile

People with gummy smile, called gummy smile, can also be aesthetically intervened when their gums appear more than desired. With the applications made in the dentist clinic, tooth lengths can be lengthened or gums can be made symmetrical. You can make an appointment to get detailed information about the gum arrangements used to provide pink and white aesthetics.

Crown Lengthening:

The short length of the teeth makes the gums appear too much during laughter. The dentist can lengthen the length of the teeth. While performing this procedure, it is applied by removing the gums on the teeth and lengthening the tooth length by reducing the gum part visible during laughter. This procedure, called crown lengthening, is frequently applied especially on the teeth in the upper jaw.

Gum Contouring :

It is not always necessary to completely remove the gums to achieve pink aesthetics. In cases where the shapes of the gums are not symmetrical for the teeth on the right and left sides, a procedure called gum shaping is performed. Thanks to this procedure, a symmetrical and pleasing appearance is obtained in the gums. Sometimes a veneer may put too much pressure on the gum from the edge of the gum, or a filling or tartar on the edge of the gum may disrupt the contour of the gum. By intervening in this area, the dentist symmetrizes the gums on the right and left sides and provides a great advantage for aesthetic dental appearance. This procedure, which is very easy for the patient, is performed in a short time and has a significant contribution to smile aesthetics. Sometimes the aesthetics of the gums may deteriorate due to gum disease. In such cases, the treatment to be applied should be more comprehensive. First, gum treatment should be completed and then aesthetic dental treatments should be started.

Gingival Recession Treatment with Gum Surgery

Severe gum recession negatively affects the aesthetic appearance. The exposed root surface usually causes cold and hot sensitivity. Stomach acid, clenching, grinding, nail biting, gnawing hard objects, etc. can cause the gum to recede together with the bone underneath. In the treatment of advanced gingival recession, the factors that cause it must first be determined and eliminated. In the treatment of gingival recession, the exposed root surfaces are covered by applying a procedure called soft tissue surgery.

Gum tissue transplantation is performed to restore the gum tissue that has disappeared due to gum recession. Before these procedures, a good tooth-to-face correction should be made and the patient should follow all the rules and follow the doctor’s recommendations until the end of the treatment. The most important thing to know. It is very difficult to replace the lost gum and even if it is easy to replace it, it requires great effort to maintain it.

Gum Discoloration:

It is the appearance of black or dark yellow areas due to pigments called melanin in the gums. This appearance, which makes the person extremely uncomfortable, is more common in patients who smoke excessively. It is also common for dark-skinned people in the society to have dark gum color. It should not be perceived as a disease. It is not a harbinger of any disease. Since they only create an aesthetically undesirable appearance, patients want their gums to regain their normal pink-colored appearance by intervention.
