The aesthetics of the gums is as important as the teeth in an aesthetic smile that is pleasing to the eye. In order to complete the aesthetic, problems and irregularities in the gingiva must be eliminated. Gingival aesthetic applications are applied in most of the aesthetic treatment processes such as Smile Design. Gingival aesthetic applications can be performed in order to obtain the most aesthetic results before treatments such as Lamina Veneer and Zirconium Veneer.
The treatment to be applied in the application of gingival aesthetics is made according to the needs of the patients, their wishes and the doctor's recommendation. Gingival aesthetic applications are very important especially in gummy smile cases where too much gum is visible while smiling.
Gingival Aesthetics can be applied in these cases:
-Those with different gingival levels
-Patients with gum recession
-Gum infection
-Patients with gingival smile (gummy smile)
In gingival aesthetic applications, tooth length can be extended by gingivectomy (gum cutting) or gingivoplasty (gum shaping), thus reducing the gummy smile (excess gum visibility) or correcting asymmetries in the gums. If the gums are very red and swollen, detertrage (scaling cleaning) or curettage applications are performed beforehand.
