PINK AESTHETICS
Pink Aesthetics (Gum Aesthetics):
The Secret Hero of the Perfect Smile
Many people associate a beautiful smile solely with white and straight teeth; however, the health, color, shape, and visibility of the gums are among the most critical factors determining smile aesthetics. At Prodenta Dental Clinic in Ataşehir, pink aesthetic treatments are an integral part of a smile design process that integrates with dental treatments.
Factors that Disrupt Gum Aesthetics
Excessive gum visibility – Gummy Smile
Asymmetrical gum levels (one tooth appears longer or shorter)
Dark brown or black pigment spots (melanin deposits) on the gums
Gum recession exposes yellowish tooth roots.
Swollen and dark red gums due to chronic gum inflammation.
Gummy Smile Treatment
Excessive gum visibility during a smile creates problems both aesthetically and functionally, as it makes the teeth appear smaller. Treatment options include:
Laser gingivectomy: Excess gum tissue is removed minimally using a laser. Bleeding is minimal; stitches are usually not needed; and recovery time is extremely short. The smile line is redesigned in a single session.
Botox: The movement of the upper lip muscles is restricted by botulinum toxin injections, reducing the amount of gum tissue visible. Its effect lasts 4-6 months.
Surgery: In advanced cases, jawbone contouring provides a permanent solution.
Gum Pigmentation (Darkness) Treatment
-
In individuals with darker skin or smokers, melanin pigment accumulates on the gum surface, forming dark brown-black spots. These spots can be safely and painlessly removed with laser peeling, resulting in a pink and uniform gum surface. Treatment can be completed in a single session or several sessions.
Gingival Symmetry Adjustment
-
Unequal gum margins create a sense of asymmetry in a smile. Laser technology precisely adjusts the gum line of each tooth to create a symmetrical smile line. When this adjustment is made before porcelain veneers or zirconium crowns, the final aesthetic result is significantly improved.
Pink Aesthetics, White Aesthetics: Complete Smile Design
After achieving gum aesthetics, the whitening and aesthetics of the teeth are also corrected with porcelain veneers or zirconium restorations, completing an integrated and perfect smile design.
