r. Tekin performs gum reduction treatment to give patients the appearance of healthy, well-aligned gums. Gum reduction surgery is safe and effective in minimizing the prominence of gum tissue and simultaneously highlighting the attractiveness of natural enamel. Gum surgery may also be recommended for patients with chronic red or swollen gums due to periodontal disease, injury or genetics.

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.
