Our patients undergo aesthetic gum treatment to cover exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession or reveal more of the tooth if there is too much gum tissue. Throughout the profession, Dr. Burhan Akyuz is known for the innovative techniques that he has developed and perfected for aesthetic periodontal procedures utilizing a surgical microscope.
These techniques were designed to improve the appearance of the teeth and smile and increase patient comfort by reducing the trauma to the soft tissues that is common with “traditional” surgical procedures. This enables Dr. Akyuz to provide his patients in Antalya and surrounding areas with naturally beautiful smiles, increased comfort throughout treatment, and accelerated healing time.
What is Aesthetic Gum Treatment?
Aesthetic gum treatment can repair a lack of gum tissue through tissue sculpting or extend the tooth with crown lengthening. These two procedures are recommended for patients to improve the appearance of their smiles with minimally invasive techniques.
- Tissue sculpting is performed using a minimally invasive microsurgical technique. Dr. Burhan Akyuz repairs gum recession often without the need for a tissue graft.
- Crown lengthening exposes more of the tooth for patients who have a gummy smile. Dr. Akyuz will balance the gum tissue and teeth by reshaping the gum and bone tissue.
While both of these procedures are intended to correct aesthetic problems, they can also prevent other dental problems from arising in the future.
Benefits of Aesthetic Gum Treatment
Many patients are dissatisfied with the aesthetics of their smile, whether their gums are too prominent or their gums are not visible enough. Through aesthetic gum treatments, Dr. Akyuz can shape the gum tissue and underlying bone to provide a more pleasing appearance. Some benefits of aesthetic gum treatment include:
- Improve the health of your gums. Often, receding gums point to a more serious issue, such as periodontal disease. Aesthetic gum treatment can be a good way to discover and treat these issues.
- Enhance the appearance of teeth that look too long. Receding gums can cause the teeth to look overly long. Aesthetic gum treatment provides a more proportional look.
- Modify a “gummy” smile. If you fear that your smile reveals too much of your gums but not enough of your teeth, corrective surgery can correct the balance.
- Reduce the risk of root decay. The problems that cause gum recession can ultimately have a corrosive effect on the entire mouth, including the roots of your teeth. Aesthetic gum enhancement can minimize this risk.
