The interventions made to the gums for esthetic purposes are called pink esthetics. While smiling, our gums are also visible in addition to our teeth. Having beautiful teeth is not enough for a beautiful smile. The amount of appearance, color, asymmetry and various diseases of the gums are the factors that disrupt the esthetics. First of all, gum disease, if any, should be eliminated, then the situation should be re-evaluated and intervened.

The situation where the gums appear more than desired while smiling and talking is called “gummy smile”. It is possible to shorten the gums and provide a more harmonious smile with the gingivectomy process, one of the pink esthetic applications. In cases where gingivectomy is insufficient, botox application to the upper lip area can reduce lip mobility and eliminate a gummy smile.

In addition, asymmetries at the level of the gums and teeth that appear shorter than necessary are also corrected with pink esthetic applications for an esthetic smile. In order for all these applications to be successful and long-lasting, first of all, the gums must be healthy. Gum health can be easily achieved with regular dental check-ups and oral care.
