What’s a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile is defined as the situation when gums look wider than they actually are in our smile. A gummy smile may affect the whole appearance adversely. Those who are not satisfied with their smile, who are disturbed by their smile or who want a more aesthetic smile can have a more beautiful smile through Pink Aesthetic Technique. Pink Aesthetics can be separated into 5 subdivisions: Gingivectomy, Gingivoplasty Regenerative Treatment, Crown Lengthening and Botox Treatment.
What Is Pink Aesthetics?
An aesthetic smile is possible not only with white and even teeth but also gums which are harmonious with those teeth. Health, color and line of gums completes the dental aesthetic. The first step of having a healthy, clean and good looking smile is earning the harmony between gums and teeth. Asymmetrical gum lines give the impression of unevenness for both gums and teeth. If our gums recede, our teeth look longer than they actually are. Solving this problem is possible through gingival aesthetic appliances.
What Is Gingivectomy?
With gingivectomy as a method of gingival aesthetics, the extra pieces of gum are extracted from the places where there are gum enlargements and deep gingival pockets. Gums can be seen less or can become totally invisible with gingivectomy in case of gummy smile.
What Is Gingivoplasty?
Gingivoplasty may be applied after gingivectomy. Gingivoplasty is the process of shaping. While the extra gum pieces are extracted and teeth are lengthened by gingivectomy, gingivoplasty reshape gums and make them symmetrical.
What Is Regenerative Aesthetics?
It is a regenerative process in which damaged gum tissues are supported with proteins, membrane and bone grafting. Tissues are supplied with a bunch of materials. In this way, both a healthy and an aesthetic appearance is earned.
What Is Crown Lengthening?
In case of tissue loss, crowns are lengthened when cavities extend to gingiva. Extra gum pieces are extracted, reshaped with bone and thus, your teeth look longer.
How Is Botox Applied to Gingiva?
It’s a subdivision of pink aesthetics which is applied for a more aesthetic appearance in gums. Only a little amount of Botox is applied to the muscles around the lips with intent to ease them. Thus, the excessive contraction of those muscles are prevented. Gums would not look wider than they actually are.
