About Gum Contouring
Gum contouring (gingivectomy or crown lengthening) reshapes the gum line by removing or reshaping excess gum tissue. It treats a "gummy smile," uneven gums, or short-looking teeth, revealing more tooth structure for a balanced, proportional smile.
Turkish dental clinics use advanced diode and Er:YAG lasers for precise, minimally invasive gum contouring with less bleeding, faster healing, and more predictable results than traditional scalpel methods.
The procedure takes 30-60 minutes under local anesthesia. Laser gum contouring requires minimal downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities the next day. Full healing occurs within 1-2 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions

Is gum contouring painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is not painful. Laser gum contouring causes less post-operative discomfort than traditional methods. Most patients experience mild soreness for 2-3 days, managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
