What is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring (gum reshaping or gingivectomy) removes excess gum tissue to correct a "gummy smile" or uneven gum line. Modern laser techniques provide precise results with faster healing and minimal bleeding compared to traditional scalpel methods.
What to Know Before You Go
Pro Tip:
Gum contouring pairs beautifully with veneers or teeth whitening for a complete smile makeover. Consider combining procedures for maximum impact — many patients find this the most transformative approach.
Insider Note:
Laser gum contouring has largely replaced scalpel methods. Always confirm your clinic uses diode or CO2 laser technology for better healing, precision, and minimal bleeding.

Ankara Medipol Diş Hastanesi
"Hello. First of all, the hospital is very clean and hygienic, and everyone is very attentive and friendly. You feel very comfortable. Yesterday, I had root canal treatment done by Dr. Elif Aykin, and I was extremely satisfied with the treatment. She is a very caring and kind doctor. Also, at the beginning of this year, we had our 6-year-old son's teeth treated by Dr. Banu Çiçek, and we were very, very pleased. Thanks to her, our son didn't develop a fear of dentists. I definitely recommend her; everything is excellent. The care and attention are superb 👏"
— Zeynep Ö ZCAN
Antalya Akdeniz Dental Clinic
"First part of treatment is complete. As someone so frightened of dentist I have been dreading this trip and the thought of the extensive treatment I needed. However, to say I have been pleasantly surprised is an understatement. Every staff member from the surgeons to the drivers have been wonderful throughout. Always so reassuring and caring. The dental treatment - after all that fear and worry, went so smoothly, no pain felt during the procedure and very manageable pain afterwards which credit goes to the skills of the wonderful surgeon Dr Onur Merey, who even took time to kindly check on me when he saw me in the clinic the day after. I’m now ready to leave Turkey with my lovely temporary teeth & will of course update in a few months once I have completed my journey! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
