Pink Aesthetics (Gum Aesthetics)

Pink Aesthetics (Gum Aesthetics)

Pink aesthetics refers to gum treatments aimed at improving the aesthetic and functional harmony of the gum line and its contours. Achieving proper balance between tooth dimensions and the gum line is a key component of smile aesthetics. This treatment is applied in cases of irregularity, asymmetry, or excessive gum visibility (gummy smile) to create a more balanced and natural-looking smile.

What is pink aesthetics?

Pink aesthetics involves aesthetic periodontal procedures such as reshaping the gum contours, removing excess gum tissue, or correcting deficient areas of the gums. These treatments are typically performed under local anaesthesia using laser or surgical techniques. As a result, the teeth appear longer, more symmetrical, and aesthetically pleasing.

In which cases is pink aesthetics applied?

It is performed in cases where the gum levels are uneven, the teeth appear short, or excessive gum display is visible during smiling. It is also preferred for gum recession, asymmetrical gum lines, and colour changes that cause aesthetic concerns. The procedure provides both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Points to consider before pink aesthetics

Before treatment, gum health must be evaluated and any existing inflammation should be treated. The patient’s general health condition and medications currently in use should be reported to the dentist. A detailed examination and smile analysis are carried out to create a personalised treatment plan.

Points to consider after pink aesthetics

Mild sensitivity and swelling may occur following the procedure. Hard and hot foods should be avoided during the first few days, and careful attention should be paid to oral hygiene. Following the dentist’s post-treatment care instructions helps accelerate the healing process. Regular follow-up visits support the long-term stability of the aesthetic results.
