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 was a patient at Badge Clinic. I was impressed by how well they organized to pick me up from the airport, then take me to the hotel and get me back on time. They were very well organized, the staff is pleasant, but the organizers were in touch with me to be sure that everything is done professionally and on time; I also have friends who were patients at this clinic and were satisfied. Thank you Badge clinic so we will definitely see you soon.

Je recommande cette clinique à 100 % tout était très propre et le personnel a vraiment été présent du début jusqu’à la fin. Une prise en charge dès la sortie de l’aéroport on ne se sent jamais seul même si on vient seul sur place des traducteurs sont là pour vous aider et des infirmiers sont là pour s’occuper de vous. Que vous soyez à l’hôtel ou à l’hôpital personne ne vous laisse sans réponse vous êtes vraiment accompagné du début jusqu’à la fin. Je suis très satisfaite de mon expérience chez badge clinique chaque petit désaccord a été réglé quasiment instantanément par ma coordinatrice Nisrine car ils ont une très bonne communication. Pour résumer je vous dirai que vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés vous ne serez pas déçu ni de votre prise en charge ni du résultat de votre opération.

The crew was very helpful and informative. It’s clear that they want you to be as comfortable as possible throughout the process. The consultant is just one message away and fast in responding to your questions and every need. The surgery went well and I can’t wait to see the results. The transportation was also very precise and on time for every trip. 👍🏾

Not sure where to start! 10 out of 10. Badge Clinic is the best thing that ever happened to me. Surgeons are professional and can’t say thank you enough to the nurses at the hospital and the hotel. They were caring and helpful. My coordinator Miray was explaining everything in detail so I was aware of everything. She still messaging me after I was back in UK. 🥰 Can’t thank this team enough! Thank you ❤️🙏

5 stars 💫
I recently underwent a breast lift with implants and 360/back liposuction at Badge Clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.
First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to Nurses Irem and Aleyna. Their friendliness and willingness to help made me feel at ease throughout my stay. Their professional care truly stood out.
A huge thank you to Dr. Mete for his incredible work. His expertise in performing my procedures was evident, and I am thrilled with the results after 3 days. His attention to detail and commitment to patient satisfaction are commendable.
I also want to thank Nesrine for her excellent organizational skills. She took care of everything, from coordinating my stay to managing transfers between the hotel and hospital, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
The team at Badge Clinic is remarkably organized and dedicated to their patients’ well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Badge Clinic to anyone considering these procedures.

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.

Honestly could not knock my experience
Honestly could not knock my experience. Flying solo I was very nervous. I had Nesrine guide me through it all who is an amazing coordinator. I got to the hospital and again was very nervous but was soon reassured. I then got settled in a lovely hospital room. I had bloods taken, chest x-ray and an ultrasound scan on tummy. I then met with my doctor Professor Dr. Cengiz Eriş who was very knowledgeable and made me at ease. I then got given the go ahead for Gastric sleeve surgery. It has been an experience and I’m
So glad to say a success. I was up walking a few hours after. Day 2 is probably the worst but once you get through it your on cloud 9. I met with my dietician and given all my protein shales and vitamins. Then got discharged day 3 post op. I got transferred to a beautiful hotel where I am relaxed and it’s beautiful. Thankyou for everything ❤️

A life changing procedure for me that was made a lot easier with the help of Badge Clinic. Fantastic facilities with the amazing doctors and nurses who helped me recover from my gastric sleeve surgery. Will always be grateful
Nicole S.
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.
Ashlyn S.
Badge clinic was amazing! I had nurses with me 24/7 who were there to help me understand what was happening during the procedure! Dr. Sarper was very kind and has done 100 liposuctions! He never made me feel uncomfortable and made sure I understood what was best for my body! Highly recommend!
Katie B.
Excellent customer care from Nesrine and Miray. I am very happy with service I received- my new nose looks amazing. Nurse Team was always available and ready to assist. Nesrine who was my medical coordinator went above and beyond to help me out, she even done shopping for me when I couldn’t go out from the hospital! I felt like I was a part of a family rather than just a client. Everyone was professional and so supportive. I will definitely be coming back to Badge Clinic in the future! Thank you
Tasmyn B.
My experience with The Badge Clinic has been amazing- everyone that I have spoken to have been so kind, thoughtful and patient. I had a surgery in the UK 5 years ago and I am much happier with my result and the whole process this time around. I would recommend The Badge Clinic to anyone!
Mason R.
I did the hair transplant. Everyone was super cool and nice. My Coordinator Nisrine walked me through all of the steps so I knew what to expect through the procedure and for my after care. The whole process they make sure you are comfortable and accommodated. The hotel they put you up at is really nice, the Free Breakfast Buffet is the BOMB and so is the room service menu. I had a nice stay and my procedure was as painless as possible. 10/10 Would recommend to a friend!

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.
