Pink Aesthetics (Gum Aesthetics)
When the mouth and teeth, which are the most striking areas in appearance, have an aesthetic appearance, they also positively affect the self-confidence of the person. Even if the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to oral and dental care is caries-free, white, smooth and healthy teeth, there are actually other factors that affect this image. One of them is the gum. A healthy gum integrates with the teeth and completes the oral aesthetics. All treatments applied to this area, including the color of the gingiva and the area it covers, are called gingival aesthetics. So, can gingival aesthetics be the treatment you need to perfect your smile? Read on to find out which patients this procedure is suitable for and to learn more about the procedure.
What is Pink Aesthetics?
Another name for gingival aesthetics, takes its name from the color of the gingiva. This treatment is more commonly known as pink aesthetics among dentists. This procedure, whose medical name is gingivoplasty, includes all interventions on the gums. Correcting the asymmetries and color differences in the gingiva, treating the gingival recession, solving problems such as the gingiva is too dense and covering the teeth are included in the field of pink aesthetics. These procedures can also be performed as a part of the smile aesthetic treatment. A specialist dentist can decide which procedures the patient needs within the framework of pink aesthetics. For this reason, if you are not sure about the health of your gums or if you have aesthetic concerns, we recommend that you consult a dentist first.
Who is Pink Aesthetics Suitable for?
Like all aesthetic procedures, gingival aesthetics is an optional procedure. Patients with healthy gums can have pink aesthetics if they are not satisfied with the appearance of their gums. It is a priority for those who want to have pink aesthetics to have healthy teeth and gums. In consultations for gingival aesthetics, it may be revealed that the gums have different needs. In these cases, the necessary treatment should be done first and then the patient should be given the desired appearance within the framework of aesthetic concern. Patients who receive smile design treatment can also have pink aesthetics in this treatment.
Advantages of Pink Aesthetics
In addition to visually appealing to the eye, pink aesthetics also contributes to the health of teeth and gums:
- To prevent bleeding and injuries of the gums,
- Eliminating sensitivity by making dental tissues healthier,
- To prevent gingivitis,
- To prevent tooth loss
It is an example of the benefits of gingival aesthetics in terms of health. Of course, in addition to these, it improves the smile of the patient by making the teeth look more straight and aligned. A good smile also helps to increase self-confidence and socialize more easily while talking and eating directly.
Pink Aesthetics Applications
Within the scope of gingival aesthetics, invasive treatments such as correcting the gums that are too much and covering the teeth, restoring the receding gums or returning the gingival color to its own color, or shorter-term procedures such as scaling can be performed.
For patients who want to have a pink aesthetic application due to gingival recession, the reason for this situation is first investigated. Tooth extraction can be due to reasons such as consuming hard and crusty foods, clenching or brushing with a hard brush. This causes the tooth surfaces to become prominent and more bacteria to adhere to the tooth. Treatment of gingival recessions varies according to the size of the recession. If the recession is low, it is sufficient to clean the surfaces, while it may be necessary to add grafts for highly retracted gums. Which method will be more appropriate is determined as a result of consultation with the dentist.
Another treatment performed within the framework of pink aesthetics is curettage treatment to stop the development of gums that have grown long enough to cover a part of the teeth. Curettage is a treatment in which a standard calculus cleaning is done in more detail and in depth.
If you are not satisfied with the appearance of your gums, there may be a health problem behind it. It would be best to draw a treatment route with your dentist after the consultation.
Pink Aesthetic Prices
As with many dental treatments, it is not possible to give a standard price for pink aesthetics. This is because these types of treatments are individualized. It is not possible to know exactly what treatment the patient needs without consulting a professional dentist. Your gums may need more than one procedure within the framework of pink aesthetics. That's why a dentist's opinion for pricing is a must. If you think that there is a problem in your gums or you just want a treatment due to aesthetic concerns, you can have a consultation session with our specialist dentist Mehmet Ali Koldaş.
