Pink Aesthetics (Gum Aesthetics) - Dr. Emre Kural I Dentist at Istanbul Turkey

Pink aesthetics is a modern treatment approach that aims to harmonize the shape, color, and level of gums with teeth, complementing smile aesthetics. Today, when a smile is considered aesthetic not only by the appearance of teeth but also by the health, symmetry, and natural pink tone of gums, pink aesthetic applications are of great importance. Problems such as excessive gum display, asymmetry, dark appearance, or recession can disrupt the aesthetic integrity of a smile and negatively affect a person’s self-confidence.

Thanks to pink aesthetic treatments, gums are given a healthier, more regular, and natural appearance, making the person’s smile harmonious. Dr. Emre Kural, who is an expert in aesthetic dentistry, offers personalized pink aesthetic solutions by evaluating tooth-gum-lip harmony from a professional perspective. Thus, both a more aesthetic and healthier smile is achieved.

What Is Pink Aesthetics (Gum Aesthetics)?

Pink aesthetics is the general name for dental applications that enable the perfection of smile design aesthetically by correcting the form, level, color, and symmetry of gums. Pink aesthetic treatments;

Regulate excessive gum levels,
Correct asymmetry in gums,
Improve dark or reddish gum colors,
Treat gum recessions,
Provide a natural transition between teeth and gums,
Offer a more aesthetic appearance during smiling.

Gum aesthetics, which is the “pink” part of dental aesthetics, is an important element that complements the whiteness of teeth in smile design. Therefore, pink aesthetics is an indispensable part of advanced aesthetic applications such as Hollywood smile design.

Pink aesthetic treatments are usually applied using laser technologies, surgical arrangements, aesthetic fillings, or periodontal improvements.

In Which Situations Is Pink Aesthetics Preferred?

Pink aesthetics is especially preferred for people who are not satisfied with their appearance and want a more balanced smile. The following situations are the application areas of pink aesthetics:

1-Gummy Smile (Excessive Gum Display)

Excessive visibility of gums during smiling can cause aesthetic concerns in a person. This condition can be corrected with laser or surgical methods.

2-Gum Asymmetries

When gums appear more in one part and less in another, it disrupts smile symmetry. Symmetry is restored with pink aesthetics.

3-Gum Recessions

Exposure of tooth roots causes both sensitivity and aesthetic impairment. It is treated with connective tissue grafts or periodontal surgery.

4-Dark Colored Gums

Depending on genetic factors, dark-toned gums can be lightened with pink aesthetic pigmentation removal procedures.

5-Short Tooth Length

Short-looking teeth create an aesthetically unpleasant appearance. Tooth length can be extended with gingivectomy.

6-Preparation Before Smile Design

Before Emax, laminate, or zirconium crowns, gums need to be at ideal level.

7-Periodontal Problems

Unhealthy, swollen, red gums both impair aesthetics and can cause tooth loss in the long term. Pink aesthetic treatments also support periodontal health.

In short, pink aesthetics is a holistic treatment method performed not only for aesthetic purposes but also to achieve a functional and healthy gum structure.

How Is Pink Aesthetics Performed?

Pink aesthetic treatments are a versatile process that requires personalized planning. Dr. Emre Kural plans the application according to the patient’s gum level, tooth structure, and smile form.

The stages of pink aesthetic treatment are as follows:

1-Detailed Examination and Smile Analysis

In the first stage, the gum structure is evaluated in detail:

Gum height
Symmetry
Color and texture structure
Periodontal health
Lip-tooth relationship
Ratio of gum visibility during smiling

In light of this information, a personalized pink aesthetic plan is created.

2-Gingivectomy (Gum Contouring)

In cases where there is excessive gum, gum levels are rearranged with laser or surgical method. This procedure:

Extends tooth length
Provides smile symmetry
Creates a more aesthetic gum line

Gingivectomy performed with laser is bloodless, sutureless, and comfortable.

3-Gingivoplasty (Shaping of Gum Lines)

Gingivoplasty procedure is applied to make gum contours appear rounder, more natural, and more aesthetic. Gum forms are shaped according to the ideal proportions of teeth.

4-Pigmentation Removal (Gum Color Lightening)

In people with excessive melanin pigment, gums can be in dark brown tones. Thanks to laser pigment removal, lighter pink gums are obtained.

This procedure is completely painless and has long-lasting permanent effects.

5-Gum Recession Treatment

Gum recession, in addition to aesthetic impairments, can cause problems such as:

Sensitivity
Decay risk
Exposure of root surface
Elongated appearance in teeth

For this, connective tissue grafts, root surface coverage surgeries, and periodontal improvement methods are applied.

6-Crown Lengthening Procedure

In cases where teeth are very short, teeth are brought to ideal length with crown lengthening procedure. It also provides the necessary preparation for crowns and laminates.

7-Laser Gum Contouring

Laser method:

Is bloodless
Heals quickly
Procedure time is short
Aesthetic control is easy

For this reason, laser is preferred in most modern pink aesthetic applications.

Things to Consider After Pink Aesthetics

There are some points to consider for the healing process to be fast and comfortable after treatment:

1-Hot foods should be avoided for the first 24 hours.

Hot foods can irritate the healing area.

2-Oral hygiene should be maintained.

Brushing should be done more gently, the area should not be irritated.

3-There may be sensitivity after laser procedure.

It passes by itself in a short time.

4-Smoking should be avoided.

Smoking delays tissue healing.

5-The given mouthwash and care instructions should be followed.

6-Check-up appointments should not be missed.

The success of pink aesthetic applications is directly proportional to the care shown to gum health.
