Gum esthetics is a procedure that restores excessively visible, asymmetrical, or discolored gums that appear during smiling to their ideal form using surgical or laser methods. This treatment provides an aesthetic and balanced smile design by adjusting the size of the teeth and the gum line to harmonize with facial features.
The recovery process after gingival esthetics can vary depending on the extent of the treatment performed. Additionally, a person's general health condition and the techniques used by the dentist can affect the recovery process.
Generally, suture dissolution occurs within approximately 10 days. The healing of gingival tissue takes several weeks. If you want to support the recovery process, you should pay attention to your dentist's instructions.
Dentists divide the recovery process in gingival esthetics into phases. During the initial healing phase, frequent follow-up appointments may be scheduled. In this way, your health can be supported by resorting to additional treatments when necessary.
