Aesthetic Gum Treatment

Excessive gum tissue or gum recession can hide the teeth and cause underlying dental issues. The treatment used to help in revealing the teeth and cure the over gum exposure is known as aesthetic tooth treatment or aesthetic dentistry. This is a speciality that deals with the enhancement of one’s dental appearance. It can also rectify elongated teeth with no gum exposure. Zee Dent is known for its innovative techniques for the inner jaw structure and procedures for perfect aesthetic periodontics.

These techniques are designed to improvise the look of the teeth and smile, and also reduce any trauma caused to the soft tissues with the traditional surgical procedures.

Types of Aesthetic Gum Treatment

Aesthetic gum treatments use two minimally invasive techniques to repair the lack of gum tissue. Both the procedures can improve your smile’s appearance by taking minimal recovery time.

  • Tissue Sculpting- It is a microsurgical technique using minimally invasive procedures. The dentists repair gum recession without the need for tissue grafts.?
  • Crown Lengthening- People with gummy smiles, who want to balance their gum tissue, can opt for crown lengthening. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can reshape the teeth, gum and bone tissue.

Although both procedures can correct aesthetic procedures, they can also prevent other dental problems in the future.

Benefits of Aesthetic Gum Treatment

Many patients are unhappy with the structure of their teeth, which affects their smiles. It can be due to extra exposure of gums or no exposure at all. Both the cases can make smiling look unnatural.

With the help of aesthetic gum treatment at Zee Dent Clinic, patients can shape their gum tissue and bones to give a pleasing appearance. The technique can-

  • Improve the gum health- Periodontal diseases are a common diagnosis for receding gums. With the help of aesthetic gum treatment, you can treat these issues and make your appearance better.
  • Enhance teeth appearance- If your teeth appear elongated (than usual), you can opt for aesthetic gum treatments to give it a more proportional look.
  • Modify the gummy smiles- The corrective surgery can balance out the gums and teeth to give an attractive smile.
  • Decrease the risk of root decay- The roots of the teeth can experience a corrosive effect if not treated in time. The aesthetic gum enhancement can work on the gum structures and minimise the risk associated with root decay.

How is the procedure performed?

Aesthetic gum treatment is carried out with the help of a device after local anaesthesia. It can cause little to no discomfort to the patients. The procedure includes-

  • Microsurgical techniques to provide high magnification and details.
  • Surgical instruments to minimise discomfort and provide rapid healing.
  • Provide the most effective treatment option.

Each procedure will provide a balance between safety and efficacy to ensure that you are matched with the therapy to deliver the best aesthetic result with the least amount of discomfort.

Recovery from the Treatment

Aesthetic gum procedures (tissue sculpting or crown lengthening), take a few days to heal. Dentists employ gentle procedures and hence provide little downtime. Any discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain medicines that will be recommended during your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.1. What can cause a gum recession?
Gum Recession can be caused due to gum disease, grinding or bruxism of teeth, teeth clenching, poorly aligned teeth, or aggressive brushing and flossing.
Q.2. What is tissue grafting for aesthetic gum treatment?
Some of the patients prefer to have a bridge placed in a missing tooth location. Doctors can improve the visual look of the gap between the existing bridge and the gums caused by gum recession. It is done by conducting a tissue graft to heal the area. The procedure is designated for patients who do not want or are unable to have a dental implant or new bridge.
