GINGIVAL AESTHETICS
What is Gummy smile?
It is the appearance of the gums more than they should during smiling. In such a case, the reason for this should be determined as a result of the examination. Causes include short lip, hyperactivity of the lip, overdevelopment of the upper jaw, and gingival not in the proper position. Among the treatment options, gingivectomy is applied as much as the tissues allow, shaping and lifting the gingiva. Surgical and orthodontic treatment is used in disorders related to the position of the upper jaw. Botox can be applied to prevent excessive movement of the lip.
Gingival recession
In case of gingival recession, root surfaces were exposed and sensitivity complaints started. After the gingival treatment, as a result of the evaluations, the area can be intervened with soft tissue grafts.
Arrangement of the gingival edges
It is important in terms of aesthetic integrity that the gingival edges are symmetrical and in the correct position before the aesthetic procedures. Gingival levels can be brought to an ideal position with electrocautery, laser or scalpel.
