What we offer
Everything for your smile journey
How it works
- 1
Free photo review
Send a few clear photos of your smile. Our clinical team identifies the cause and confirms whether gum contouring alone is enough, with your exact all-inclusive price in writing.
- 2
Gum reshaping
In most cases, laser gum contouring is done in a single session under local anaesthetic — comfortable, with minimal bleeding.
- 3
Healing
The gum line settles over 2–4 weeks. If you are combining this with veneers or a Hollywood Smile, that work typically follows once healing is complete.
- 4
Final result
Your new, balanced smile line is visible immediately after treatment and refines further as healing completes.
Warranty
Gum contouring is a soft-tissue procedure without a materials warranty; where crown lengthening or restorations are combined, those follow their own written warranty terms.
Where you'll be
Kuşadası — treatment and holiday in one trip
Our clinic is minutes from the harbour. Between appointments you have the Aegean, Pigeon Island and Ephesus on your doorstep.
A gummy smile — where too much gum shows above your teeth when you smile — can be corrected permanently, often in a single visit. At our Kuşadası clinic we reshape the gum line with laser contouring or, where teeth are naturally short, crown lengthening, so your smile shows the right balance of teeth and gum. All-inclusive, for 50–65% less than Western Europe.
What causes a gummy smile?
A gummy smile usually comes from one of a few causes: gum tissue that covers more of the tooth than it should (altered passive eruption), a upper jaw or lip that sits slightly higher than average, or teeth that are naturally short. Identifying the real cause matters — it decides whether simple gum reshaping is enough or whether a small amount of bone needs adjusting too.
Laser gum contouring
For most patients, excess gum tissue is reshaped with a dental laser in a single, comfortable session under local anaesthetic. The laser trims and sculpts the gum line to reveal more of the natural tooth, with minimal bleeding and fast healing. Results are visible immediately, with the final gum line settling over a few weeks.
When crown lengthening is needed
If the bone beneath the gum sits too high, gum reshaping alone will not hold — the gum tends to grow back. In these cases a minor crown-lengthening procedure adjusts the bone level as well as the gum, giving a stable, permanent result. Your dentist will tell you honestly which situation applies to you from a simple examination or photos.
Often combined with a smile makeover
Many patients correct a gummy smile at the same time as veneers, a Hollywood Smile or Digital Smile Design — reshaping the gum line first gives the dentist the right canvas for teeth that are proportioned correctly to your face. It is not required: a gummy smile can be corrected on its own, with your natural teeth left untouched.
Frequently asked questions
Is gummy smile correction permanent?
Yes, when the right technique is used for your cause. Simple laser gum contouring is permanent when the bone level is already correct; if bone is the cause, crown lengthening (adjusting gum and bone together) gives the lasting result — gum reshaping alone would grow back in that case.
Does it hurt?
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so it is not painful during treatment. Mild tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal and managed with simple pain relief.
How many visits does it take?
Gum contouring alone is usually a single visit. If you are combining it with veneers, a Hollywood Smile or crowns, your visit length follows that treatment's own timeline — typically a few days to two short trips.
Will my teeth look too short after treatment?
No — the goal is to reveal more of your existing tooth, which is already there under the excess gum. If your teeth are genuinely short rather than covered, we are honest about that and may suggest veneers alongside for proportion, rather than overpromising from gum work alone.
How much does gummy smile treatment cost in Turkey?
At our Kuşadası clinic, laser gum contouring starts from around €240 depending on how many teeth are involved, all-inclusive, versus €600–€1,500 in Western Europe. Your exact price is confirmed in writing after we review your photos.
