 r. Tekin views the gums as critically
as the teeth. "If the teeth are the artwork, the gums are the
frame... equally important", says Dr. Tekin. Teeth need to be
a certain height to width ratio (typically 1:1.6) to look "natural".
The position of the gums can greatly affect that ratio. Teeth that
are too square (ratio 1:1) look fake. Dr. Tekin has close relationships
with Periodontists (gum dentists) in his office building that assist
him in achieving the gum contouring that makes all the difference
in a successful case.To begin, Dr. Tekin will first attempt to remove any irritating debris or bacteria that may be causing inflammation. He will then measure the contour of the gums and plan your ideal upper and lower gum proportions. As a general rule, the gum tissue edges around the two front teeth and canine teeth should be the same height. After a local numbing treatment, he will create a small incision and manually remove the excess gum tissue. To help the healing process, Dr. Tekin applies a special substance around the gum treatment area. Following the procedure, your diet will be restricted only for a short amount of time. After your treatment, your gums should appear pink, healthy and symmetrical. Learn more about gum recontouring and how it can make a big difference in your smile. Ready, set, smile!
