Gum harmony
Gum aesthetics
Gums frame the smile. Their health, position and symmetry are part of the design, never an afterthought.
It is not about doing more.
It is about choosing wisely.
Gum aesthetics includes periodontal procedures aimed at restoring health, covering recession or harmonising the gum line where clinically indicated.
It may be considered for…
- Gum recession or exposed roots.
- Asymmetrical gum contours.
- Too much or too little gum affecting tooth proportions.
Understand first.
Then treat.
- 01
Periodontal diagnosis
We assess health, tissue type, bone, hygiene and the cause of the problem.
- 02
Interdisciplinary plan
We coordinate gum treatment, restoration and orthodontics where needed.
- 03
Treatment
We use the indicated technique with tissue stability in mind.
- 04
Healing
We monitor progress before assessing the final result.
Clinical judgement,
not promises.
- Controlling the cause and restoring periodontal health come first.
- Healing time is part of the plan.
- The technique depends on the tissues and anatomy of each case.
- Results and timings may vary according to diagnosis and individual response.
Before you decide.
How do you decide whether this treatment is suitable?
Suitability depends on a clinical assessment and, where appropriate, X-rays and photographs. More conservative alternatives are also considered before choosing a plan.
How long does treatment take?
The timeline varies with the starting point, complexity and each person's response. Your individual proposal sets out the stages, appointments and maintenance.
Can it be combined with veneers or orthodontics?
Yes, when indicated by the diagnosis. The sequence between specialities is crucial to avoid compromising the gums.
