For a healthy smile: Pink gum aesthetics

Experts, who state that one of the important factors providing smile aesthetics is the gum surrounding the tooth, say, "Healthy and aesthetic gums are coral pink in color and have a slightly textured structure. We must not forget that the true building block of aesthetics is being healthy and natural. From an aesthetic perspective, it is preferred that gums are visible up to 2 mm when we smile."

It is known that in some patients, having the gums appear more than the teeth, known as a Gummy Smile, is not a desired situation.

WHAT IS PINK AESTHETICS AND HOW IS IT PERFORMED?

What we call pink aesthetics is the gums surrounding the teeth in a symmetrical and aligned manner, as well as having a natural color and texture.

When the gums around the teeth are not symmetrical or appear more than the teeth, a gingivectomy (a procedure where gum tissue is removed using surgical methods), which is a minimal surgical procedure, can be applied.

GUM DISCOLORATION INCREASES WITH SMOKING

Color changes can appear as bruising in individuals who consume a lot of cigarettes or sometimes as a genetic condition.

As cigarette consumption increases, these bruises can also increase over time.

For the treatment of these unwanted discolorations, the gums can be returned to their natural pink color in a short time by applying minimal, painless surgical procedures such as depigmentation or gingivoplasty.
