TREATMENT DETAILS
Gum
Pink aesthetics procedures aimed at arranging the amount of gum visible during smiling, gum levels, and tooth-to-gum ratio within health boundaries.
OVERVIEW
Evaluating tooth and gum balance in the smile line.
Gummy smile refers to the prominent display of gums while smiling; millimeter thresholds used in literature may vary and are insufficient for diagnosis on their own.
The cause of gum display may be short clinical crowns, gingival enlargement, lip movement, tooth eruption patterns, or jaw structure. In cases with only soft tissue excess, gingivectomy using a scalpel, electrocautery, or soft tissue laser can be evaluated. Lasers are used in suitable cases at our clinic; procedure duration varies according to the size of the area, and the same comfort or time frame should not be expected for every individual. Gum asymmetries or pregnancy-related enlargements are evaluated by considering periodontal and hormonal conditions first.

EVALUATION
How is suitability determined?
Treatment selection is made by evaluating clinical examination, necessary imaging, and personal expectations together.
01
Gum health
Bleeding, inflammation, enlargement, and periodontal pockets are evaluated.
02
Smile and lip line
Gum display is measured at rest and during smiling; lip mobility is examined.
03
Bone and tooth ratio
Tooth length, bone levels, and biological boundaries are evaluated using necessary images.
“In pink aesthetics, the cause of visible gum is determined first; the method is not selected based solely on appearance.”

TREATMENT PROCESS
Step-by-step process
01
Analysis
The origin of the appearance is determined through photographs, measurements, and periodontal examination.
02
Method selection
Soft tissue modification, crown lengthening, or the need for a different approach is established.
03
Application
In suitable cases, tissue is contoured under local anesthesia using laser or other surgical instruments.
04
Healing and follow-up
Tissue response, hygiene, and final gum levels are evaluated during follow-up visits.

Detailed answers
It is the general name for procedures aimed at arranging gum display in the smile line, gum levels, and visible tooth height.
Gum aesthetics, or pink aesthetics, aims to adjust gum display and level discrepancies within health boundaries by determining their underlying cause. Although a display exceeding two millimeters is used as a criterion for gummy smile in some sources, an acceptable appearance varies per individual and evaluation method. The reason may not be soft tissue excess alone; lip movement, bone levels, tooth eruption, and jaw structures also play a role. Soft tissue lasers can be used in suitable cases. In pregnancy-related swelling, plaque control, hormonal period, and tissue permanence are evaluated first.
It can be evaluated for individuals with prominent gum display, asymmetrical levels, or short-looking teeth, provided their periodontal tissues are suitable for treatment.
