What is Gum Aesthetics?
The visual appearance of the gum tissue surrounding the tooth is at least as aesthetically important as the appearance of the teeth. No matter how beautiful our teeth or how beautiful our dentures are, inadequate gum aesthetics will always cause us problems. In addition, we need to make these structures, which form the frame of our teeth along with the lips, as aesthetic as possible.
The most common problem is swelling, bruising, shiny and bleeding gums that occur due to gingivitis. Here, the problem will be easily solved if the patient pays attention to oral hygiene following a good treatment by the doctor. With the developments in laser systems, the treatment process is accelerated and the possibility of recurrence of the disease decreases. Following mechanical cleaning, bacteria that we call pockets and that cause gum diseases can be easily cleaned from this area with laser.
Gumy smile is a situation where too much gum is visible when smiling. By making a smile design, the excess gum is determined and the gum is easily brought to the desired size with the laser, painlessly and with almost no bleeding. Both the surgery and the aftermath of this procedure have almost no impact on the patient's social life. Active use of laser reduces bleeding during surgery and shortens the healing process.
Gum recession may occur due to gingivitis or aging. The biggest problem here is the black gaps between the teeth. In addition, the elongation of the teeth due to receding gums negatively affects the aesthetics. In such cases, we ensure that these areas are closed by adding gum to the patient. Developing surgical techniques increase the chance of success of this form of treatment.
Melanin pigmentation, especially in dark-skinned individuals, darkens the pink color of the gums. These discolorations can be easily removed following a 15-minute laser treatment.
