Gum Aesthetics

What is a gummy smile?

It is the appearance of the gums more than they should be during smiling. In such a case, the cause of this should be determined as a result of the examination. The reasons include short lips, excessive mobility of the lip, overdevelopment of the upper jaw, and gums not being in the position they should be. Among the treatment options, gingivectomy is applied to shape and lift the gingiva as much as the tissues allow. Surgical and orthodontic treatment is used in disorders related to the position of the upper jaw. Botox application can be applied to prevent excessive movement of the lip.

Gum recession

In case of gum recession, the root surfaces are exposed and sensitivity complaints have started. After gum treatment, the area can be intervened with soft tissue grafts as a result of evaluations.

Regulation of the gingival margin

It is important for aesthetic integrity that the gingival margins are symmetrical and in the correct position before the aesthetic procedures to be performed. Gum levels can be brought to the ideal position with electrocautery, laser or scalpel.
