Gum Contouring

Perfect your gumline for a balanced, symmetrical smile

Overview

Gum contouring (gingivoplasty) uses a dental laser to remove and reshape excess gum tissue, revealing more of the tooth crown and creating a more balanced, symmetrical smile. It's commonly performed as part of a Hollywood Smile package in Turkey, and can make a dramatic difference to the overall proportion of a smile.

Key Benefits
