Gum aesthetics is the process of shaping the teeth and gingival appearance by arranging the gingival tissue. With this procedure, also known as pink aesthetics, the smile line can be arranged symmetrically and gain a more aesthetic appearance. In cases where the treatment is appropriate, the patient can reach the ideal tooth and gingival appearance comfortably and in a short time with the gingival aesthetic applications. The treatment can be done at any age as long as it allows the health of the teeth and gums to be maintained.
Which Treatment Methods Can Be Provided With Gum Aesthetics?
In gingival aesthetic applications, gingival removal (gingivectomy) or gingival shaping (gingivoplasty) procedures are applied. With these applications, the visible size of the teeth can be corrected by changing the amount of gum visible during smiling. A more symmetrical smile can be created by leveling the gums. In cases where it is not healthy to change the length of the teeth, lip positioning can be performed in order to regulate the amount of gingival appearance, and the aesthetic appearance can be supported.
How are Gum Aesthetics Applications Performed?
Gum aesthetic treatments can be performed comfortably with the application of local anesthesia. When laser treatment is preferred, the treatment can be completed seamlessly without bleeding. Gum aesthetic treatments are usually completed in a single session and in a very short time. However, this process may take longer depending on the number and condition of the teeth to be applied or the treatment plan. After treatment, complete healing of the tissues takes between 10 and 14 days. With the regular use of painkillers and mouthwash that the dentist will prescribe, this process can be passed comfortably.
What are the Advantages of Gum Aesthetics Treatments?
Gum aesthetics allows the aesthetic appearance to be changed significantly as a result of a minimal procedure.
As a result of supporting the aesthetic appearance, it helps to reduce social anxiety.
The regulation of gingival growths that occur due to various conditions is also possible with this application. By bringing the tissues to their ideal positions, oral hygiene in this area is facilitated and gingival health can be maintained for a long time.
