The Gum Contouring Procedure

 

Gum contouring is a relatively simple and straightforward procedure that can be completed in just one visit to the dentist. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:

• Consultation and Planning

Before the procedure, you will have an online pre treatment consultation with your dentist to discuss your goals and expectations.

Once you get to Turkey, your dentist will examine your gums and teeth thoroughly to determine the best course of action.

• Numbing the Area

To ensure your comfort during the procedure, your dentist will numb the area with a local anesthetic. This will prevent you from feeling any pain or discomfort during the procedure.

• Reshaping the Gums

Using a laser or scalpel, your dentist will carefully remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gums to create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. This process is quick and precise, and you will be able to see the results immediately.

• Finishing Touches

Once the gum contouring is complete, your dentist may use a dental drill to smooth out any rough edges and ensure a natural-looking result.

• Recovery and Aftercare

After the procedure, your dentist will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. This may include avoiding certain foods and drinks, taking pain medication, and using a special mouthwash. You may experience some minor discomfort and swelling for a few days, but this should subside quickly.
