Gummy Smile Treatment

With the Gummy Smile treatment, which has become popular with the increase in awareness about smile aesthetics in recent years, people with visible gums can have a more perfect smile. Within the scope of the Gummy Smile treatment performed by periodontologists, the gums can be shaped to eliminate the problem of short, small and misshapen teeth. A serious increase in self-confidence can be achieved after the Gummy Smile treatment, which can be applied by people whose gums look more than normal and more than they should be while smiling.

What is Gummy Smile?

Gums may appear more than necessary during laughing due to systemic diseases, vertical growth of the upper jaw, thin structure of the upper lip, small teeth, overworking of the laughing muscles, genetic factors and long-term drug use. In this case, an unaesthetic appearance may occur when the person smiles. The treatment applied to eliminate this problem, which is called Gummy Smile, is called Gummy Smile treatment.

How is Gummy Smile Treatment Done?

During the Gummy Smile treatment, patient-specific planning is required as usual. Gum health should be examined, if there are problems in the gums, these problems should be treated first. In the same way, dental tartar should be cleaned. Then, surgical shaping of the gums is performed. In this process, gingivectomy (gum cutting) and gingivoplasty (gingival tissue shaping) operations can be performed simultaneously.

At Clinicas Estrella, we are aware of the impact of smiles on the identity and self-confidence of our patients. For this reason, we perform special smile designs for our patients with our specialist physicians. We examine our patients who want to have gingival aesthetics and have a more perfect smile, determine whether they have gingival problems, and then produce solutions that will make their smiles more beautiful.

What Happens If Gummy Smile Treatment Is Neglected?

If the gingival smile problem is not treated, the person will not only be negatively affected in terms of aesthetics, but also may lose his oral health day by day and his general appearance may change. The gingival smile caused by the deterioration of gingival health should not be neglected, and treatment options should be evaluated without delay.

Gummy Smile treatment requires expertise, because the treatment of gingival smile may vary depending on the reasons that cause the smile disorder. Within the scope of the Gummy Smile treatment, which should be individually planned, it may become necessary for orthodontists to be involved in the process. As Clinicas Estrella, we continue to provide services for your health and smiles with our wide range of dentists with different expertise.
