GUM AESTHETICS – GINGIVOPLASTY
The appearance of the gum tissue that completely surrounds the tooth is as important aesthetically as the appearance of the teeth themselves. Having beautiful teeth or perfect prosthetics alone will not be sufficient. Unattractive gums will continuously cause aesthetic problems. It is extremely important to make this arrangement, which forms the frame structure of the lips and teeth, as aesthetic as possible.
The first step in creating an aesthetic, beautiful, and clean smile is to ensure the harmony between the teeth and gums in the most accurate way. The level of the gums visible when smiling directly affects the appearance of our teeth. Asymmetric gum margins give the impression of irregular tooth structure and crooked smile line, making people unhappy. If there is gum recession, the teeth may appear longer than they actually are. These negative problems can be resolved through gum aesthetic applications.
Swelling, bruising, shininess, and bleeding gums caused by gum inflammations are among the most common problems encountered today. In addition to the most appropriate treatment method applied by your dentist, you should not forget to pay attention to your oral hygiene. Thanks to advances in laser systems, treatment times have accelerated nowadays. Consequently, the likelihood of recurrence of the discomfort has decreased.
Gummy smile is the condition where excessive gum tissue is visible while smiling. During smile design procedures, the excess gum tissue is identified. The gums can be comfortably reduced to the desired size with a laser, almost painless and with almost no bleeding. After the procedure, the patient’s social life is not disrupted in any way.
The active use of laser reduces bleeding during surgery and accelerates the healing process.
Inflammations may occur in the gums, or gum recession due to aging may be seen. The biggest problem accompanying these is the black gaps that form between the teeth. Gum recession, which causes teeth to appear longer, negatively affects aesthetics. In these cases, gum grafting should be performed to close these spaces.
In most cases, melanin pigmentation in darker-skinned individuals darkens the pink color of the gums. Remember, this discoloration can be easily removed following a 15-minute laser treatment.
