PINK AESTHETICS
Gum Aesthetics
Applications Directed at Gum Level and Appearance
Provided at our clinic in Altunizade, Üsküdar (Istanbul).
IN SHORT
Gum aesthetics (pink aesthetics) covers applications directed at the level, shape and appearance of the gums; suitability is determined after gum health is assessed.
Overview
What Are Gum Aesthetics?
Gum aesthetics (pink aesthetics) covers applications in which the level, shape and colour of the gum are assessed within the overall harmony of the smile. Alongside the teeth, the appearance of the gum also affects the general harmony of the smile.
Situations such as excessive gum showing when smiling (gummy smile), asymmetric gum levels or gum recession are addressed within this scope.
Which application is suitable is determined after the gum health, level and cause are assessed. If gum disease is present, it must be treated before the aesthetic application.
Gum aesthetic applications are assessed together with the smile line and lip movement. To preserve gum health, regular oral care and check-up appointments are important for the sustainability of the result.
