Gingival Aesthetics, the process of shaping and contouring the appearance of teeth and gums on the tissue. Also known as pink aesthetics, this procedure can help align the smile line symmetrically and achieve a more aesthetic appearance. In cases where appropriate, the patient can comfortably and quickly achieve the ideal appearance of teeth and gums through aesthetic applications. As long as it enables the maintenance of the health of teeth and gums, the treatment process can be performed at any age.
When Can Gingival Aesthetics Be Preferred?
These procedures are an aesthetic dental treatment method used to correct or improve various conditions related to the gums. Here are some situations where gingival aesthetics may be sought:
- Gum Reshaping: Irregularities in the gums, gum recession, or asymmetrical appearance can be corrected with gingival aesthetics. This treatment is preferred especially in cases where the gum line needs to be corrected or adjusted.
- Gum Asymmetry: Asymmetry in the gum line can cause the teeth to appear uneven. Aesthetic procedures can be used to correct this asymmetry and achieve a more balanced and aesthetic appearance of the gums.
- Gummy Smile: Some people may be uncomfortable with excessive gum visibility when smiling. With these procedures, this condition can be corrected to provide less gum visibility and enhance the aesthetic of the smile.
- Color Irregularity: Color irregularities or dark spots in the gums can affect the smile. Gingival aesthetics can be used to correct these color changes and give the gums a healthier and more natural color.
- Gingival Hyperplasia: In some cases, the gums may overgrow and cover the normal size of the teeth. With these aesthetic procedures, this excessive growth can be corrected to reveal more of the teeth.
- Tissue Loss: Gum recession or loss of gum tissue can cause the teeth to appear longer and expose the tooth roots. These aesthetic procedures can be used to correct such conditions and reconstruct the gum tissue.
Gingival aesthetics is a treatment method used to improve a person’s smile, make teeth look more aesthetic, and support overall oral health. Consulting a dentist regarding such situations is important to determine appropriate treatment options.
Which Treatment Methods Can Be Used for Gingival Aesthetics?
Gingival aesthetics procedures include gum removal (gingivectomy) or gum reshaping (gingivoplasty). With these procedures, changes can be made to the amount of tissue visible during smiling, adjusting the visible size of the teeth. By leveling the gum tissue, a more symmetrical smile can be created. In cases where changing the size of the teeth is not healthy, lip positioning can be performed to adjust the amount of gum visible and support the aesthetic appearance.
How Are Gingival Aesthetics Procedures Performed?
Gingival aesthetics treatments can be comfortably performed with local anesthesia. When preferred, treatment with lasers can be completed without bleeding and stitches. Gingival aesthetics treatments are generally completed in a single session and in a relatively short time. However, depending on the number and condition of the teeth to be treated or the treatment plan, this process may take longer. Tissues typically fully heal within 10 to 14 days after treatment. With regular use of prescribed pain relievers and mouthwash by the dentist, this process can be comfortable. Therefore, it is recommended that the procedure be performed by a specialist dentist, and if you have any questions or need advice, you can contact our clinic at any time!
