Gum Treatment in Turkey: what you need to know
Bleeding gums, bad breath, receding gums or loose teeth can be signs of periodontitis — a chronic infection that slowly destroys the bone holding the teeth. It is the most common reason adults lose teeth, and it must be under control before implants, crowns or veneers are placed.
Treatment starts with a thorough assessment and a deep cleaning of the root surfaces below the gum line. In advanced cases, additional procedures help to reduce pockets and regenerate tissue.
On the aesthetic side, gum contouring reshapes an uneven or excessive gum line. A "gummy smile" or teeth that look short can often be corrected in a single appointment, sometimes as part of a smile makeover.
Types of Gum Treatment
Which option suits you is decided together with your dentist — based on your examination, not a catalogue.

Removes bacterial deposits below the gum line.
Laser-assisted therapy
Supports disinfection of deep pockets.
Gum contouring
Reshapes the gum line for aesthetics.
Gum grafting
Covers exposed roots where gums have receded.

Gum contouring and the "gummy smile"
A smile is considered gummy when more than about 3–4 mm of gum shows above the upper teeth. If the cause is excess gum tissue, contouring can reveal more of the tooth. If the cause is the lip or jaw position, other treatments may be discussed.

Why do I need gum treatment before implants?
The same bacteria that destroy bone around teeth can attack implants. Healthy gums significantly improve implant success.
Does gum contouring hurt?
It is done under local anaesthesia. Most patients feel mild tenderness for a day or two.
Can periodontitis be cured?
It can be brought under control and kept stable with good home care and regular maintenance.
Is gum treatment needed before veneers?
Healthy, stable gums are essential for veneer margins to look good long-term. Inflammation is treated first.
