What is gum Contouring (Gummy Smile Correction)?
Gum contouring, sometimes called pink aesthetics, corrects irregularities in the gumline with a scalpel or laser. When too much gum shows on smiling (a gummy smile), the gum margin is reshaped so the teeth appear longer and more even (gingivectomy, gingivoplasty); sometimes bone must also be adjusted (crown lengthening). Where gums have receded, a soft-tissue graft can cover exposed roots. It is often done before veneers or a smile makeover.
How is gum Contouring (Gummy Smile Correction) done?
- Smile analysis, photographs and assessment of gum thickness
- Planning the new gumline, digitally if needed
- Reshaping the gum with a scalpel or laser under local anaesthesia
- Review after healing, then veneers or crowns if planned
Who is gum Contouring (Gummy Smile Correction) suitable for?
- People who feel too much gum shows when they smile
- Uneven gum margins between neighbouring teeth
- Teeth that look short or square
- Receded gums with exposed roots
- Only after any active gum inflammation has been treated
Aftercare: what to watch out for
- Avoid hot, spicy and crunchy foods for the first few days.
- Clean the treated area gently with a soft brush as instructed.
- The gum settles into its final shape over 2–4 weeks; veneers or crowns are fitted after this.
Possible side effects and risks
- Temporary tenderness and minor bleeding
- Partial rebound of the gumline
- Soreness in the palate when tissue is taken for a graft
- Root sensitivity if too much tissue is removed
Are there alternatives?
If the gummy smile is caused by an overactive upper lip muscle or by jaw structure, botulinum toxin, orthodontics or jaw surgery may be more appropriate. A proper smile analysis to find the cause comes first.
What affects the cost of gum contouring in Balıkesir?
The cost of gum contouring depends on factors such as number of teeth to be reshaped; laser or conventional surgical technique; whether bone recontouring (crown lengthening) is needed; whether a gum graft is required, and is set by the doctor after an examination. Under Turkish rules on the advertising of health services, prices are not published on our site; you can ask the doctor directly when you request an appointment.

Frequently asked questions
How much does gum contouring cost in Balıkesir?
The cost of gum contouring depends on factors such as number of teeth to be reshaped; laser or conventional surgical technique; whether bone recontouring (crown lengthening) is needed; whether a gum graft is required, and is set by the doctor after an examination.

Who is the best doctor for gum contouring in Balıkesir?
There is no single “best” doctor for everyone. The right doctor for you is experienced in gum contouring, easy to reach, and explains the options clearly. Check whether the doctor lists this treatment on their profile, their specialty (dentist, periodontist), the overall picture of patient reviews and the clinic’s location, and ask for a clear written treatment plan, timeline and cost at the first consultation. For major treatments you have the right to a second opinion. “En İyi Hekim” (Turkish for “best doctor”) is our brand name: we do not rank doctors as “best” and rankings cannot be bought.
How do I find a dentist for gum contouring in Balıkesir?
On each profile you can see reviews, the clinic address and available times, and send a free appointment request through our site.
How long does gum contouring take?
Usually 30–90 minutes. Number of visits: 1–2 sessions plus a check-up.
Does laser gum contouring hurt?
It is done under local anaesthesia, so it should not hurt during the procedure. A laser often reduces bleeding and makes healing more comfortable.
Will the gum grow back after it is trimmed?
With careful planning the gum usually stays at its new level. If the natural distance between gum and bone is not respected, it can creep back somewhat.
Can gum contouring be done on the same day as veneers?
Usually not; the gum needs a few weeks to stabilise so that the edges of veneers or crowns can be placed accurately.
