Gum Aesthetics

Just like the whiteness of teeth, the appearance of the gums also plays a key role in smile aesthetics.
The symmetry, color, and harmony of the gums with the teeth are essential for achieving a balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. “Pink aesthetics” refers to the proper positioning and healthy shaping of the gums.

Gum problems often arise in the form of gum recession, excessive gum overgrowth, or asymmetry in the gum line. These issues not only create aesthetic concerns but can also negatively affect oral health. For example, gum recession may expose the root surfaces of the teeth, leading to sensitivity and potential tooth loss.
That’s why pink aesthetics is an important treatment process—not only for achieving a beautiful smile but also for maintaining healthy gums.

Gum aesthetics is also performed to achieve harmony between the teeth and the gums.
When the gums are not in alignment with the teeth, it can cause the teeth to appear shorter or longer than they actually are. In such cases, a gum contouring procedure is performed to reshape the gums and create a more harmonious appearance. This treatment is often combined with other cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening, laminate veneers, or porcelain crowns to achieve a more balanced and attractive smile.

After pink aesthetic treatment, maintaining proper oral hygiene is especially important.
Regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental cleanings play a vital role in preserving gum health. Additionally, keeping up with follow-up appointments as recommended by the dentist is crucial to ensure the long-term success of the treatment.
