Gum reshaping (gum contouring) is a cosmetic procedure that sculpts the gum line to create a more balanced, symmetrical smile. If your teeth appear short due to excess gum tissue or your gum line is uneven, reshaping can make a dramatic difference.
What Does Gum Reshaping Involve?
Using a dental laser or surgical instrument, your dentist carefully removes or repositions excess gum tissue to reveal more of the tooth surface. The procedure takes 30–60 minutes, is performed under local anaesthetic, and healing typically takes 1–2 weeks.
Gum Reshaping Costs
In the UK, gum contouring costs £200–£500 per tooth. In Turkey, the same procedure costs £50–£150 per tooth. Many patients combine gum reshaping with veneers or a smile makeover for a complete transformation, making the savings even more significant.
Who Needs Gum Reshaping?
Gum reshaping is ideal for people with a “gummy smile” (excessive gum display when smiling), uneven gum lines, teeth that appear too short or square, or gum recession that needs gum grafting to restore coverage. It’s often a key step before veneer placement to ensure proper proportions.
