What Is Gum Contouring & How Much Does It Cost in Antalya?
Gum contouring — also called gum reshaping or gingivectomy — is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that sculpts your gum line to create a more balanced, symmetrical smile. If you feel self-conscious about a “gummy smile”, uneven gums, or excess gum tissue hiding the full length of your teeth, gum contouring at Persona Smile in Antalya delivers dramatic results in a single appointment.
Using advanced diode laser technology, our specialist periodontists precisely remove or reshape excess gum tissue with minimal bleeding, faster healing, and virtually no discomfort compared to traditional scalpel methods. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes and results are visible immediately.

Benefits of Gum Contouring — Why Patients Choose This Procedure
Gum contouring is one of the most impactful cosmetic dental procedures available, offering visible results in a single visit. According to the American Dental Association, gum aesthetics play a crucial role in overall smile appearance, and modern laser techniques have made reshaping safer and more predictable than ever.
| Benefit | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Eliminates Gummy Smile | Removes excess gum tissue to reveal more tooth surface, creating proportional, balanced aesthetics |
| Evens Uneven Gum Lines | Corrects asymmetry where one side sits higher or lower, giving your smile a uniform frame |
| Laser Precision | Diode laser technology cauterises as it cuts — minimal bleeding, reduced swelling, faster healing |
| Single-Visit Results | Most treatments completed in 30–60 minutes with results visible immediately |
| Boosts Confidence | Patients report significant improvement in willingness to smile openly after treatment |
| Prepares for Veneers | Creates the ideal gum architecture before placing E-Max veneers or zirconia crowns |
| Minimal Downtime | Return to normal activities the same day; full healing within 1–2 weeks |
Gum contouring is especially popular among patients visiting Antalya for a complete smile makeover, as reshaping the gum line before placing veneers ensures the most natural, aesthetically pleasing outcome.
The Gum Contouring Procedure — Step by Step
At Persona Smile, every gum contouring treatment follows a precise clinical protocol to ensure safe, predictable results. Here is exactly what to expect during your visit to our Antalya clinic:

| 2. Digital Smile Design | Using DSD software, we show you a preview of your new gum line before any treatment begins | 15 min |
| 3. Local Anaesthesia | Topical and local anaesthetic ensures complete comfort throughout the procedure | 5 min |

| 5. Symmetry Check | Your dentist verifies even gum margins across all treated teeth and makes micro-adjustments | 10 min |
| 6. Aftercare Guidance | Detailed written aftercare instructions provided, plus a follow-up appointment is scheduled | 10 min |

Who Is a Good Candidate for Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring is suitable for adults in good oral health who are unhappy with the appearance of their gum line. The NHS recommends that any active gum disease should be treated before cosmetic gum procedures. You may be an ideal candidate if you experience:
- Gummy smile — excessive gum tissue covers a large portion of your teeth when you smile
- Uneven gum line — gums sit at different heights across your front teeth
- Short-looking teeth — your teeth appear small or stubby due to excess gum coverage
- Asymmetrical gum margins — one side of your smile looks different from the other
- Pre-veneer preparation — your dentist recommends gum reshaping before placing veneers or crowns
Gum Contouring vs Gum Grafting — What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Gum Contouring (£50/tooth) | Gum Grafting (£170) |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Removes excess gum tissue | Adds gum tissue to receded areas |
| Best For | Gummy smile, uneven gum line | Receding gums, exposed roots |
| Technique | Diode laser sculpting | Tissue transplant from palate or donor source |
| Treatment Time | 30–60 minutes | 60–90 minutes |
| Recovery | 1–2 weeks | 2–4 weeks |
| Permanence | Permanent — gum tissue does not grow back | Permanent once healed |

Is gum contouring painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during treatment. Our diode laser technology also minimises post-operative discomfort compared to traditional scalpel techniques. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure. Over-the-counter pain relief is usually sufficient for any tenderness afterwards.
How long does gum contouring take?
A typical gum contouring session at Persona Smile takes 30–60 minutes depending on the number of teeth being treated. The procedure is completed in a single visit — no multiple appointments needed.
Is gum contouring permanent?
Yes. Once gum tissue is removed, it does not grow back. The results of gum contouring are permanent, making it an excellent long-term investment in your smile. The American Dental Association confirms that properly performed gingivectomy produces lasting results.
How much does gum contouring cost at Persona Smile?
Gum contouring at Persona Smile costs £50 per tooth. This is a fixed, all-inclusive price covering consultation, laser treatment, and aftercare. Compare this to UK prices of £150–£300 per tooth. View our full price list for all treatments.
Can I combine gum contouring with veneers?
Absolutely — this is one of our most popular combinations. Reshaping the gum line before placing E-Max veneers ensures perfect proportions and a natural-looking result. Your dentist will plan the gum contouring to complement the veneer design.
What is the recovery time?
Most patients feel comfortable within 3–5 days and can return to normal activities on the same day. Full healing takes approximately 1–2 weeks. During recovery, stick to soft foods and follow the aftercare instructions provided by your dentist.
Do I need gum contouring or gum grafting?
Gum contouring removes excess gum tissue (ideal for gummy smiles), while gum grafting adds tissue to areas of recession. Your dentist will assess which procedure — or combination — is right for you during your free consultation.
Is gum contouring safe?
Yes. Laser gum contouring is a well-established, minimally invasive procedure with an excellent safety profile. The laser cauterises blood vessels as it works, reducing bleeding and infection risk. Our periodontists follow strict sterilisation protocols in line with WHO oral health guidelines.
