Gum aesthetics is a branch of dentistry that includes procedures performed to improve the appearance and aesthetics of the gums. Healthy gums are considered an important element of a beautiful smile. It aims to achieve a more aesthetic appearance by regulating the symmetry, shape, color and proportions of the gums.

Gum aesthetic procedures may include the following:

Gingivoplasty

A procedure performed to correct the shape of the gums. If the gum line is irregular or asymmetrical, gingivoplasty can be performed to improve gum aesthetics. In this procedure, a more symmetrical and aesthetic appearance is achieved by removing excess tissue or shaping the gums.

Gingivectomy

A procedure used in cases of excessive growth or thickening of the gums. If there is an excessive amount of gum on the teeth, gingivectomy removes the excess gum and reveals the natural tooth size. This procedure allows the teeth to have a longer and more aesthetic appearance.

Gum Graft

A procedure used in cases where the gums have receded or thinned. Gum grafts are performed by taking gum tissue from another area and transplanting it to receding or damaged areas. This procedure helps prevent or treat gum recession. It provides a more aesthetic gum line.

Pink Aesthetics

Pink aesthetics is a concept that includes the relationship between gums and teeth as well as gums. Various treatment methods are applied to ensure harmony in gum color, gum line, and gum and tooth ratios. These treatments may include gum recontouring, gum color correction, and correcting the ratio between gum and teeth.

Gum aesthetic procedures provide a more beautiful smile by correcting aesthetic problems in the gums. These procedures are usually performed by a periodontist or aesthetic dentist.
