GUM CONTOURING

Gum Contouring in Istanbul Turkey

Gum contouring is a practical way to give your gums an ideal look to get a better smile. Today, many people know that a beautiful smile is not necessarily about healthy teeth. Instead, cosmetic problems with the lips or gums can play a part in a smile design.

Cosmetic dentistry has shown that pearl white teeth or perfect teeth alignment can fail to provide you with the perfect smile. Instead, your teeth, gums, and lips should be harmonious with each other. Thus, gum contouring, also called gum lift, gum reshaping, gingivoplasty, or gingival sculpting, is becoming a rising trend in cosmetic dentistry.

What Is Gum Contouring?

Gum contouring is an effective cosmetic procedure to eliminate gum recession. Your gums are cut, restored, lifted, and reshaped during the procedure. At the end of the process, you expose less gum when smiling. In many cases, gummy smile problems are easily eliminated. But for some patients, gum contouring can be a medical need rather than a cosmetic procedure.

When To Have Gum Contouring?

There is a common belief that gum contouring is necessarily a cosmetic procedure, and people take this treatment just to get a better smile. But, in fact, it is not exactly true. Periodontal problems caused by bacteria or infection need to be treated after a close examination of a dentist. Usually, gum diseases are treated in nonsurgical ways. So, they, thinking that may lead to tooth loss or other more serious problems, try antibiotics and other cleaning techniques to kill the bacteria in your gums. Then, depending on the success in the antibiotic treatment, your dentist might move to a next level treatment, pocket reduction surgery.
