The Importance Of Healthy Gum Tissues
Your gums might not seem like an important part of your mouth, but they play a big role in the aesthetics and function of your smile. Gums not only provide an attractive balance between your tissues, teeth, and lip line, but form a tight seal around the base of your teeth to block out dangerous bacteria. If your gums are not functioning optimally, you can experience infection, problems with everyday mouth movements, sensitivity, and even structural problems with your teeth and bone. Our experienced team at TANTALYA Dental Clinic offers numerous soft tissue treatments in Antalya to restore your smile’s health, function, and natural beauty!

Helping You Regain A Healthy Smiles
1. Crown Lengthening
A “gummy” smile often occurs when the gums and bone have not retracted after adult teeth erupt. This can cause teeth to appear small while simultaneously too much gum tissue shows when you smile. Crown lengthening removes this tissue and bone to reestablish a more symmetrical gumline and proper tooth-to-gum ratio.
2. Gingivectomy
Soft tissue damaged by gum disease will pull away from the teeth and leave deep pockets that trap plaque and bacteria. A gingivectomy removes these tissues so healthy gums can reattach to the teeth once the pockets are cleaned. Healthy gums form a tight seal to block out future bacteria.
3. Gum Grafting
Gum recession is when the soft tissues retract from the teeth, leaving the sensitive tooth roots exposed to hot and cold temperature and more susceptible to plaque and bacteria. Gum grafting uses patient or donor soft tissue to cover these exposed roots while building up stronger and more dense tissues around the teeth.
4. Frenectomy
If you need a wisdom tooth extracted, our priority is to ensure you are comfortable and calm for your surgery. We will provide sedation dentistry as needed, and prepare the surgical site by administering local anesthetic. Next, we’ll remove your wisdom teeth, being careful to preserve your bone and gum tissues. Once your surgery is complete, we’ll provide instructions for your recovery and at-home care as you heal. Adhering to these instructions will help ensure a healthy blood clot forms and you don’t develop any infection at the surgical site.
5. Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease progressively damages the gum tissues, underlying bone, and teeth. Treatment ranges from non-surgical scaling and root planing to osseous surgery and minimally invasive laser therapy. These targeted procedures eliminate bacteria causing infection and restore function to remaining structures.
