Gum Contouring

What is Gum Contouring?

Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a cosmetic procedure that adjusts the height and shape of the gum line around the teeth. In some people, excess gum tissue makes the teeth look short or uneven, which can draw attention away from an otherwise healthy smile. By gently recontouring the gums, we can create a more balanced frame for the teeth and improve the overall harmony between your smile and facial features.

Why Choose Gum Contouring at Inci Dis?

Inci Dis uses diode laser technology and delicate instruments to perform gum contouring with minimal discomfort and faster healing compared with older methods. Before any gum tissue is removed, we carry out a full periodontal evaluation and, when needed, use digital smile planning to decide how much change is appropriate. This ensures that the procedure stays within safe biological limits and supports the long term health of the teeth rather than focusing only on short term aesthetics.

How the Process Works

Gum contouring is often combined with veneers, crowns or bonding in a complete smile design. For international patients, it is usually possible to perform the procedure and complete the restorative work within the same trip, as the initial healing period is relatively quick. Our dentists provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to clean the area and what foods to avoid in the first days, and remain available for online follow up if you have questions once you are back home.
