Gum aesthetics is a set of various procedures performed to improve the appearance of the gums. The procedures are carried out under general anesthesia under the supervision of a dentist and may take an hour or longer depending on how much reshaping is needed on the gums.
If you smoke, avoiding it as much as possible before the procedure is important for a faster healing process. In most cases, gum aesthetics is not a medical necessity, but is performed to achieve a flawless aesthetic appearance.
Therefore, anyone who is dissatisfied with the appearance of their gums and whose quality of life is negatively affected may undergo gum surgery. This procedure can be done purely for aesthetic reasons or, at the dentist’s discretion, when the gums are adversely affecting oral and dental health.
Gum recession is the pulling back of the gum tissue for various reasons, exposing the roots underneath. This makes your teeth more vulnerable and sensitive, and you may begin to feel many everyday sensations more intensely.
Gum recession can be mild, moderate or severe. It may affect one or multiple teeth. It can occur at any age, but is most commonly seen in individuals over 65 and in those with the following risk factors:
Gum recession is a common dental problem and a suitable treatment plan can be created for all individuals whose gum health has deteriorated for various reasons.
The frenulum is a structure located between the upper and lower central incisors and under the tongue. When this structure is excessively developed, certain complications may occur, negatively affecting speech and sucking functions. The procedure of cutting and removing or reshaping the frenulum is called frenectomy (thinning or releasing the lip / tongue tie).
A tongue tie can be present in almost everyone and in some cases may be hereditary. It is most commonly seen in newborns and children. If your child has a tongue tie and is having difficulty feeding, frenectomy can be performed to restore healthy function in the area.
In untreated moderate to severe tongue tie cases, poor weight gain due to inadequate nutrition, difficulty breastfeeding, trouble eating certain foods and speech disorders may occur.
I had what they call a “gummy smile”, meaning my gums were very visible when I smiled. My doctor corrected everything with a short procedure. I am very satisfied.
I went to Dt. Ogün Onur Çömlekçi because of sensitivity and swelling in my gums. I learned that I had gum recession and received treatment before it progressed further. I’m glad I mentioned my complaint at an early stage.
I had severe sensitivity and bleeding in my gums. My doctor told me there was an infection and we started treatment. It’s getting better day by day, many thanks and best regards to him.
Yes, if it is diagnosed early and the treatment plan is followed regularly, it can be resolved. However, if left untreated and the disease progresses, serious problems may develop.
By maintaining daily oral hygiene and using dental floss and mouthwash as recommended by your dentist, you can prevent potential gum infections.
Bleeding noticed during flossing and brushing, swollen and red gums, pain while speaking and chewing, and extreme sensitivity to hot and cold foods are some of the symptoms of gum infection.
Pain while chewing, bad breath, gaps forming between the teeth, spaces between teeth and gums, and gums receding to expose the teeth are among the most prominent symptoms of gum recession.
Poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetic factors, advanced age, and conditions such as diabetes and heart disease are among the causes that can lead to gum disease.
Gum disease is a progressive, painless infection. Delaying treatment can lead to further bone loss. In that case, any dentures you may have in the future will not be as efficient as your natural teeth.
Yes. It is a slowly progressing infection. Although rare, it is known to affect certain parts of the body, such as the heart valves.
Not everyone needs periodontal surgery. If treated early, gum disease can be managed without surgery.
