Soft tissue shaping treatment is a procedure applied to prepare crowns on teeth and implants in the most natural and aesthetic way possible. With the soft tissue shaping procedure, patients can achieve results that are as close to perfection as possible, both functionally and aesthetically.

What is Soft Tissue Shaping?
Used in prosthetic treatments, particularly in crowns over teeth and implants, the soft tissue shaping procedure aims to provide the most natural and aesthetic results. For this purpose, it enables the shaping of soft tissues to improve the relationship between the soft tissue and the crowns.
How is Soft Tissue Shaped?
Soft tissue shaping is an application that prioritizes aesthetic appearance in the front regions of the teeth and functionality in the back regions. There are special equipment and techniques used for the soft tissue shaping procedure. Fundamentally, it allows any type of crown applied to the patient to look more natural and aesthetic.
What Are the Advantages of Soft Tissue Shaping?
It is used to ensure long-term success of crowns placed over teeth or implants in cases where soft tissues are insufficient. Shaping the soft tissues ensures that restorations are made as aesthetically as possible. It eliminates the risk of food debris trapping between crowns, especially porcelain over implants. Additionally, it fills the space between crowns with pink and healthy soft tissue, enabling the patient to have an aesthetic smile.
How Can Soft Tissues Be Protected?
Soft tissues can only be protected by paying proper attention to oral and dental health. In addition to ensuring oral hygiene, going for regular dental check-ups every six months is of great importance for protecting soft tissues. Furthermore, Guided Biofilm Therapy, or GBT, is of critical importance for maintaining the health of soft tissues. Therefore, patients should choose clinics that possess expertise, experience, and the necessary technical equipment regarding this procedure.
How is the Price (Cost) of the Soft Tissue Shaping Procedure Determined?
The cost of the soft tissue shaping procedure is determined individually based on the number of teeth or implants to be treated, the preferred technique (such as laser or surgical methods), the need for a soft tissue graft, and the scope of the treatment. For this reason, the procedure fee may vary according to the evaluation to be performed for each patient. The exact treatment plan and cost information become clear after a detailed clinical examination and evaluation conducted by the dentist.
