The procedure itself is painless thanks to local anaesthesia. Most patients describe mild tenderness for 2–3 days afterwards, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Laser techniques significantly reduce post-operative discomfort compared to traditional surgery.

Results are considered permanent for gingivectomy and crown lengthening procedures because the tissue and bone are physically reshaped. Gum grafts also provide long-lasting coverage as long as you maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups.

Mild recession can sometimes be managed with improved brushing technique and professional cleaning, but moderate to severe recession typically requires a gum graft to restore coverage. Early intervention produces the best outcomes, so it is worth having a specialist assessment sooner rather than later.

Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 days after laser gingivectomy. Graft procedures may require 3–5 days of rest. International patients generally plan a 5–7 day stay in Istanbul to allow for the initial healing check before flying home.

Absolutely — in fact, combining treatments often produces the best results. Gum recontouring is performed first, and once the tissue has healed, veneers or crowns are placed on the newly proportioned teeth. At BestDent, we plan both stages together from the very first consultation.

Dark gums are usually caused by excess melanin pigmentation, which is genetic and completely harmless. Smoking can also contribute to gum discolouration. Laser depigmentation safely removes the pigmented layer, revealing healthy pink tissue underneath, and the procedure typically takes under 30 minutes.

Yes, dental diode lasers have been used safely for over two decades. They are FDA-cleared and backed by extensive clinical research. The precision of the laser actually makes it safer than a scalpel in many cases because it reduces bleeding and lowers infection risk.

A gummy smile is generally defined as showing more than 3–4 mm of gum tissue above the upper front teeth during a full smile. If you feel your teeth look short or that too much gum is visible, a simple clinical measurement can confirm the diagnosis and guide the right treatment approach.

Gingivectomy removes only soft gum tissue and is suitable when the gum is simply overgrown. Crown lengthening involves reshaping both gum tissue and the underlying bone, and is necessary when the bone level is too close to the visible part of the tooth. Your periodontist will determine which approach is right for you.

Yes. BestDent uses digital smile design technology to create a simulation of your new gum line and smile. You can review and approve the planned outcome during your consultation, and adjustments are made until you are completely happy with the projected result.
