Gum Contouring, also known as gum reshaping or gingivoplasty, is a cosmetic dental procedure that improves the appearance of the gum line and enhances your smile. It is ideal for patients with uneven gums, a “gummy smile,” or excess gum tissue.
At Badge Health in Turkey, we provide precise and safe gum contouring procedures using modern techniques for natural and aesthetic results.
I went to Turkey to get my new healthy Hollywood smile. Badge Clinic was recommended to me and my initial experience with Miray was very positive. On my arrival I met Nesrine – my medical coordinator. She took excellent care of my dental journey. She was professional, always available and ready to help me. Nesrine went above and beyond to assist me and I am forever grateful for her effort. I would recommend Badge Clinic to everyone. Their customer service and care are exceptional. Thank you Nesrine and Miray!

Just had Gastric Sleeve Surgery and a Gastric Band removal surgery completed on 24/05/24 by Prof. Dr. Cengis Eris at the hospital in Istanbul. From start to finish the entire Badge team have been nothing short of amazing. From pick up at the airport to your return back home they have been in contact and making sure I fully understand what is happening and what to expect. My Co-ordinator Nesrine has been amazing. I traveled by myself and was worried this was going to be too much but the team at Badge really take fantastic care of you. If you are debating if this is right thing to do or if this is the right place to have your surgery I can’t stress enough just how amazing and resasurred the team has made me feel. Although I’m only really a couple of days out and will see the results over the next coming weeks and months. I am relatively pain free and able to manage my normal activities which surprised me but shows just great they are at what they do.

Had a great experience from the minute i landed, everyone was very welcoming, made me feel at ease, can’t thank my 2 nurses enough from being in the hospital and hotel, kept reassuring me when was needed, especially being so far from home, definitely made the right choice with choosing badge clinic.. only thing i would say was hard was the language barrier but that’s excepted to come to there country, nothing google translate doesn’t help with x

I would like to firstly thank aleyna , irem and Nesrine for all their amazing support help and although so friendly but very professional. They made me feel part of The Badge family .. I also want to thank wonderful surgeon Muhammad Eren Șimșek he has done amazing. Feel a million dollars no pain but perfection. My second time now at the Badge and I will most certainly be back. Again from the beginning in contact with admin to flights to the driver to the hotel.. everything runs so smoothly and the people are just gorgeous. I literally will miss them. I’m so happy with the whole process❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very welcoming people. I was stressed that the doctor had to take my canine out and is visible so they came with the option with a temporary tooth until next appointment for the implant. Also the bridge procedure was done with precision. Honestly they know what they are doing and you feel in good hands. Highly recommend Badge Health.

I had my rhinoplasty at this clinic and had a very positive experience. The staff were professional and supportive from the consultation through recovery, and everything was well organized. The surgeon explained the procedure clearly, and I felt comfortable and well cared for throughout. I’m happy with my results and would recommend this clinic to anyone considering rhinoplasty.
Asad G.
I recently underwent a hair transplant at Badge Clinic in Istanbul, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure follow-up, the team at Badge Clinic demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.
The clinic itself is state-of-the-art, with modern facilities that made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt fully prepared before the procedure. The medical team, led by highly skilled surgeons, was extremely meticulous, ensuring everything was done with precision and care.
The procedure itself was smooth and relatively painless, and I was impressed with the thoroughness and attention to detail. The team ensured I understood the post-op care instructions, and the follow-up support has been fantastic. I am excited about the final outcome!
Traveling to Istanbul for this procedure was definitely worth it also VIP transportation between airport, 5 start to clinic and Badge Clinic provides an excellent combination of affordability and world-class expertise. For anyone considering a hair transplant, I would highly recommend Badge Clinic. They exceeded my expectations in every way.

My experience with badge clinic has been amazing. The help and support I received both before and in Istanbul has been flawless. My coordinator Enes has been very helpful and answered all my questions. While I was in Istanbul my Coordinator Nebia has been extremely pleasant and made me feel welcomed. My surgeon Dr Mete has done a great job and for once when he asked if I had any questions I was speechless. My experience thus far has been amazing and I would definitely recommend Badge Clinic.
Isobel Mc N.

Gum contouring is a dental procedure that reshapes or removes excess gum tissue to create a balanced and symmetrical gum line. This not only enhances the appearance of the teeth but can also improve oral health by reducing areas where plaque and bacteria accumulate.
Gum contouring is commonly performed for:
Improving the aesthetics of a gummy smile
Correcting uneven or asymmetrical gum lines
Enhancing the appearance of short or uneven teeth
Supporting better oral hygiene by removing excess tissue
How is Gum Contouring Performed?
The procedure is minimally invasive and can be done using laser technology or traditional surgical techniques:
Consultation and Assessment: A detailed evaluation of the gum line, teeth, and smile aesthetics.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia ensures comfort during the procedure.
Reshaping the Gum Line: Excess tissue is removed or reshaped using a laser or scalpel.
Healing and Aftercare: Patients receive instructions on oral hygiene and follow-up care.
The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes and often requires only a single session.
Advantages of Gum Contouring
Creates a balanced and attractive smile
Corrects a gummy or uneven gum line
Improves oral hygiene by reducing plaque-prone areas
Minimally invasive with quick recovery
Can enhance the appearance of teeth without crowns or veneers
Boosts confidence and self-esteem
Recovery After Gum Contouring
Recovery is generally quick, with minor swelling or discomfort for a few days. Patients are advised to:
Eat soft foods during the first 1–2 days
Maintain excellent oral hygiene
Avoid smoking and alcohol for faster healing
Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing
Full results are typically visible within 1–2 weeks.
Risks and Considerations
Gum contouring is safe when performed by an experienced dentist, but minor risks may include:
Temporary sensitivity of teeth and gums
Minor swelling or bleeding
Infection if post-operative care is not followed
Badge Health ensures precise treatment, high-quality care, and detailed aftercare guidance for optimal results.
