When is it necessary?
In many cases, laser gum contouring is done for cosmetic purposes. But in some, this is recommended for those that have periodontal disease. Laser gum contouring is one treatment option that can help correct the damage done from untreated gum disease. However, dentists will be likely to try something non-surgical before moving to laser therapy. Such treatment includes medication with antibiotics to kill bacteria and dental cleanings to restore health.
How Does it Work?
Performed by a periodontist or cosmetic dentist, gum contouring can be done in a single office visit. In most cases, you won’t need to be asleep for the procedure. You’ll just need a local anesthetic to numb the area being treated.
With laser gum contouring, instead of using a scalpel, your dentist will use a laser to remove excess gum tissue. He or she then will resculpt the gum line to expose more of the tooth, getting This gets rid of any decayed tissue that may be present to allow healthy gums. Sutures may or may not be used to hold the gum tissue in place.
When gum contouring is used to correct receding gum lines, your dentist will then need to add gum tissue. He or she will remove tissue from different areas in your mouth, for example, the palate. Then, the dentist will secure the tissue around the teeth to lengthen or restructure the gum line. Whether the procedure is done to correct gum recession or to trim excessive gum tissue, laser gum contouring can take a few hours to complete.

Laser Gum Surgery Recovery
If you went through a complex dental procedure at least once in your lifetime, you know dental recovery can be a slow and painful process. Laser gum surgery recovery and healing
are shorter in time. This is because laser gum surgery is less invasive than traditional therapy (which involves heavy amounts of drilling, bleeding, swelling, and post-op pain). Since lasers can target the infected tissues with extreme precision, the doctor limits the damage to a small area. This is why recovery is faster and easier to endure.

Types of Gummy Smile
There are no exact scientific definitions of what a gummy smile is, however, if you feel that your gum line is too large, then we’ll find the right treatment options for you.
The amount of gum that you see in your smile will be dictated by the following:
– The shape and size of your teeth.
– The angle that your jaw sits at in comparison to the rest of your face.
– How your lips move when smiling.
If you have three to four millimetres of exposed gum, this is disproportionate and will result in a gummy smile.
What Causes a Gummy Smile?
The causes of gummy smiles may relate to the teeth, gums, lips, or jaw and identifying the specific reason for the appearance of your smile will be important in ensuring we provide you with the correct treatment.
The causes of a gummy smile that are most common include:
Gingival hyperplasia or hypertrophy – this is an enlargement of the gum tissue. In some cases, this can be caused by medications that suppress the immune system, prevent seizures, or treat blood pressure.
- A hyperactive lip muscle can raise the lip up too far, which exposes the gums.
- Genetics.
- Maxillary excess – this is an overgrowth of the jaw that causes gums to protrude.
- A short upper lip that doesn’t cover your gums.
- Teeth that appear small compared to the gums.
- The gum tissue partially covers teeth that appear shorter than normal.
- In many cases, prevention is not possible due to genetic factors, however, with the right treatment, we can address the appearance of your gummy smile.
The Benefits of A Gum Lift and Contouring
A gum lift can feel like a new lease of life, allowing you to smile confidently without the embarrassment of your overbearing gums.
In addition to gaining a new beautiful smile, one of the biggest benefits of the treatment offered at Ekiz Clinic Istanbul is that it is pain-free!
Treatment Options for a Gummy Smile
When you enter your initial consultation at Ekiz Clinic Istanbul , we’ll take the time to tailor a treatment plan to your needs. Our dentist will be able to reshape, redefine, and enhance your smile – with minimal pain involved.
Surgical Gum Lift and Contouring
When your gums cover too much of your teeth, we may carry out a gingivectomy. This cosmetic dental procedure is also referred to as gum contouring. The treatment involves removing excess gum tissue.
We’ll begin by providing you with a local anaesthetic so that the procedure will be painless. Once your gums have become numb, we’ll gently refine and reshape your gums. This will reveal more of the surface of your teeth.
Often, this can be completed in one session, however, we may need you to come back after a week. The results of surgical gum lifts are permanent, and you won’t need to worry about your gums growing back.
Laser Gum Lift and Contouring
Another option for removing excess gum from your teeth uses a laser.
A laser gum reshaping treatment aims to contour and reshape the gums to make them look neater and smaller in proportion to the teeth. It’s a simple procedure that can usually be completed in one visit to Ekiz Clinic Istanbul.
The dentist will use a laser to sculpt the gums, removing excess tissue as they go. The laser can seal the blood vessels automatically, which helps to reduce swelling and bleeding after.
The process is virtually pain-free, with most of the discomfort being felt after the treatment itself. You can take over-the-counter painkillers to help with this.
Veneers and Bonding for Gummy Smiles
To improve the balance between your teeth and gums, veneers can be tailor-made for you. This non-invasive cosmetic treatment makes teeth appear larger in situations where they used to look too small.
Veneers are fine porcelain shells that fit over your existing tooth, proving a natural appearance. If you opt to have veneers, we’ll take impressions and images of your teeth in an initial consultation, and have them made up by our artistic and highly-skilled technicians.
Once they are ready, we’ll apply the veneers in just one appointment.
Bonding is a straightforward cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of your smile. Using dental composite, we’ll skillfully reshape your teeth. The materials that we’ll use will perfectly match the colour of your teeth.
Once we’re happy with how your teeth look, we’ll cure the composite using a special light, leaving you with a strong and beautiful smile.
Botox & Lip Repositioning for Gummy Smiles
If the positioning of your lips is an issue, we can use injections of botulinum toxin type A, better known as ‘Botox.’
Botox will temporarily relax your lip’s elevator muscles. This stops your upper lip from rising so much whenever you smile. The results of having a botox injection will generally last for three to four months.
Botox is a safe procedure that will also amplify the volume of your lips while reducing vertical lines around your mouth.
While you will need to come back for further injections after the effects have subsided, botox is more cost-effective and less invasive than surgical options.
