Also known as gingivoplasty or pink esthetics, this procedure provides solutions to a few problems regarding gums, as seen below:
Gum PigmentationÂ
Gum pigmentation is a condition where the gums appear darker in some regions than others. Although mostly genetic, these melanated gums tend to overshadow the teeth’s shine. Gingival esthetics brings a permanent solution to this, thanks to a few laser sessions aiming at these darker areas. This treatment not only gives you brighter gums, but incredibly revives your entire smile.Â
Gummy Smile
Gummy smile is a situation where the gums cover a good portion of the teeth, and are overtly displayed when smiling. To resolve this, dental experts make use of orthodontics, veneers, laser, and surgery when necessary. This will give way for more teeth to display when smiling, making your smile more appealing.Â
Gum EnlargementÂ
This is a condition where gums inflate or increase in size, causing teeth to look smaller. Such a situation can stem either from genetics, treatment, bacteria or illness. Whatever be the cause, there’s definitely a treatment for it. Dental specialists make use of laser and ultrasonic treatment to reduce these gums for more oral comfort and esthetics.
Gum Recession
Gum recession is a condition where gums retract from the teeth so much that the roots get exposed. This can be due to oral hygiene, trauma of teeth and gums, inflammation or treatment. Dental specialists treat this with surgery, orthodontics, composite restorations or gum veneers.
