Will My Gums (Gingiva) Enlarge Again After the Implant? Implants do not cause any discomfort while you are eating or drinking and support your biting activities. They are quite stable and strong. Their maintenance (caring) activities are easier by comparison with traditional dental prostheses and it will be enough to apply a care procedure as you would apply for your natural teeth. Therefore, implants are very long-lasting, provided that you do not neglect your oral and dental care and provide the necessary hygiene. In addition to this, implants also have a positive effect on your social life and mental development by allowing you to regain your good old smile in a healthy way.

For all these reasons, implant treatments are often preferred by us dentists to eliminate your missing or damaged tooth problems. It is definitely normal to have question marks in your mind about the treatment process and post-treatment period. 'Will my gums enlarge again after the implant?' is one of the questions we hear frequently from our patients. By examining the subject matter thoroughly, we will try to answer the following question: 'Will my gums enlarge again after the implant?'.

Will My Gums (Gingiva) Enlarge Again After the Implant?
What are the causes of Gingival Enlargement?

Gum diseases are among the main causes of gingival enlargement. As a result of gum diseases, symptoms such as swelling and redness may occur on your gums. Especially in young people under the age of 18, enlargement of the gums may occur as a result of the deterioration of the hormonal balance. Some drugs used in diseases such as epilepsy can also give rise to enlargement of your gums. In addition to this, diabetes can also lead to enlarged gums. In addition to all these, conditions such as unbalanced diet, continuously breathing through mouth and poor oral hygiene are among the factors that cause gums to enlarge.

Do gums recess around the implants?

You may have heard from some people that their gums around their implants are recessing. And thus, the question 'Do gums recess around the implants?' may come to your mind. In some cases, it is possible for the gums to recess around the implants. When you have an implant, the recession of the gums works in the same way as the recession of your natural teeth without any implant. Patients suffering from similar conditions may complain about asymmetry in their gingival tissues and pain and inflammation around their implants.

Will my gums (gingiva) enlarge again after the implant?

Before getting your implant treatment, you may wonder and ask yourself whether 'will my gums enlarge again after the implant?'. Yes, this is possible and is often caused by infections due to poor oral hygiene. As a treatment method, we can overcome this by applying procedures such as removing the bridge over the implant, cleaning the area with gingival enlargement, shaping the gums if deemed necessary, and replacing your bridges.

Shaping the Gums around the implants

During your implant treatments, under the normal conditions, we can apply a process known as gingival reshaping around the implant crown. By this means, in the ongoing process, your gums around the implant grow and take shape just like your natural teeth. Thanks to this, we aim to prevent aesthetic problems that may occur in the post-treatment period.
