Gum Contouring in Turkey
Correct a gummy smile or uneven gum line with laser precision — a 30-to-90-minute procedure that transforms smile proportions at TakiDent Antalya.
A beautiful smile isn't just about the teeth — the gums frame them. When too much gum tissue shows above the teeth (a "gummy smile") or the gum line is uneven, it can make even perfect teeth look disproportionate. Gum contouring reshapes the gum tissue to reveal more of the tooth surface and create harmonious, symmetrical proportions. At TakiDent, we use a dental diode laser for precise, bloodless, and comfortable gum reshaping that heals in days rather than weeks. Gum contouring is often the finishing touch on a Hollywood Smile or veneer treatment.

Why TakiDent Uses Laser Gum Contouring
Precision Sculpting
The dental diode laser allows our cosmetic dentist to precisely remove tiny amounts of gum tissue while preserving healthy surrounding tissue. Each millimetre of gum line is sculpted to match the Digital Smile Design blueprint.
Minimal Bleeding
The laser beam simultaneously cuts and cauterises tissue, sealing blood vessels instantly. Most patients experience little or no bleeding during or after the procedure — a major advantage over traditional scalpel surgery.
Rapid Healing
Laser energy stimulates tissue healing at the cellular level. Post-procedure gum healing typically takes 1–2 weeks — compared to 4–6 weeks for traditional surgical gum reshaping. Perfect for patients with limited time in Antalya.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is gum contouring and how does it improve a smile?
Gum contouring (gingivoplasty) removes or reshapes excess gum tissue to create a more balanced, proportionate smile. Patients with a "gummy smile" — where too much gum shows above the teeth — are ideal candidates. The procedure also benefits patients with an uneven gum line. TakiDent uses a dental laser for precise, minimally invasive gum reshaping with minimal bleeding and fast healing.
How much does gum contouring cost in Turkey?
Laser gum contouring at TakiDent Antalya costs €200–€600 depending on the extent of treatment. In the UK, the same procedure costs £400–£1,500. Gum contouring is often included as part of a Hollywood Smile or smile makeover package at TakiDent, reducing the overall per-treatment cost significantly.
How long is the recovery after gum contouring?
Recovery after laser gum contouring at TakiDent is typically minimal. Most patients experience mild tenderness for 1–3 days, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief. The laser seals blood vessels as it works, greatly reducing bleeding and swelling. Most patients can eat soft foods immediately and return to normal activities the following day.
