Every person wants their teeth to have a white and smooth appearance when talking or laughing. For an aesthetic appearance, it is not enough for the teeth to look good. At the same time, the gums should have a healthy color, texture and position. To achieve this, pink aesthetic applications are used. If your gums look too much when you smile, some of your gums are above or below, or if it has a darker color than it is, it is possible to get a better appearance thanks to the interventions to be made with pink aesthetics.
What Procedures Are Performed Before Pink Aesthetic Applications?
Before pink aesthetic applications, problems in the gums and teeth should be eliminated. Removal of inflammation in the gums with procedures such as tartar cleaning or curettage can be done before pink aesthetics. In addition, different diseases that manifest themselves with symptoms such as pain, swelling and redness should also be treated before the procedure.
Gingivectomy
There are many people who keep their mouths shut or do not want to be photographed because they are disturbed by the excessive appearance of their gums when they smile. The excess of the gingiva around the teeth also creates a problem in terms of hygiene. In such a case, the teeth also appear short. Gingivectomy is also performed when gingival enlargement occurs for various reasons (such as mouth breathing, use of certain medications). With the help of the incisions made during this procedure, which is performed with laser or traditional surgical methods using a scalpel, the teeth appear longer and the gingiva is positioned higher.
Gingivectomy is the process of removing the gums with laser; Reshaping the gums is called gingivoplasty. A periodontal paste (cover) is applied to the area where the operation is performed and this cover stays on the gum for about 7-10 days. During this period, the consumption of very hard foods should be avoided. According to the recommendation of the dentist, mouthwash should also be used in this process.
Crown Lengthining Operations
In patients with excessively visible gums, one of the pink aesthetic procedures, other than gingivectomy, is crown lengthening. In the crown lengthening process, unlike the gingivectomy process, some shortening is performed not only from the gum but also from the bone around the teeth. The reason for this is that it is not sufficient to shorten the gums only to ensure that the tooth lengths are sufficiently visible. Another difference from gingivectomy is suture removal. In this procedure, the stitches are removed one week later. It is decided by the biological interval measurement whether to perform gingivectomy or crown lengthening.
The lengths of the teeth may differ from each other for various reasons. Crown lengthening is done for different reasons as well as aesthetic reasons. The appearance of an unaesthetic appearance as a result of the upper part of the tooth being damaged due to caries and fractures and descending under the gingiva; this is one of the reasons. With the crown lengthening process, the broken or bruised area is exposed and restored. During the restoration process, different materials such as composite filling, porcelain or zirconium are used. In this way, the tooth with a solid root both has an aesthetic appearance and can be used comfortably by the patient.
Is Pink Aesthetic Harmful?
Since pink aesthetic applications are performed by specialist physicians and under local anesthesia, there is no harm. You can enjoy the benefits of pink aesthetics for a longer time by paying attention to oral hygiene after the procedure.
How Many Days Does Pink Aesthetics Heal?
Although the healing process differs according to the type of procedure performed in pink aesthetics, recovery usually takes place within 7-10 days. It is very important to follow the doctor’s recommendations during the recovery process. Mild pain and bleeding are considered normal during the healing process. These symptoms disappear in a short time.
Advantages of Pink Aesthetics Applications
Pink aesthetics not only provides a more aesthetic appearance in the mouth, but also provides a healthy gingival structure. An aesthetic smile has many different components. The most obvious of these are the teeth. The gums around the teeth are the main complement of the aesthetic smile. Before aesthetic smile design treatments, the gums should be evaluated, and pink aesthetic applications should be made if necessary.

In this way, problems such as tooth loss and tartar formation are prevented. After pink aesthetics, you can smile comfortably without closing your mouth and regain your lost self-confidence.
