Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a cosmetic dental procedure that's designed to alter the shape of your gums, either to correct a 'gummy' smile, uneven gum lines or receding gums. Thailand, a country known for its impressive advancements in the dental field, offers top-notch gum contouring services that meet international standards, attracting dental tourists from all around the globe.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.
All prices are in USD.
Gum contouring is a procedure that adjusts the gum line - the point at which the gum tissue meets the teeth. If the gums cover too much of the teeth, it can make them appear small and result in what's commonly referred to as a 'gummy smile'. Conversely, if the gums recede, too much of the teeth can be exposed, making them look longer than normal.
The procedure is often performed with a laser and can significantly enhance the aesthetic appearance of your smile. Patients considering this treatment should know that while gum contouring can provide impressive results, it's generally considered a cosmetic procedure and might not be covered by many insurance plans.
Ahead of a gum contouring procedure, your dentist will draw a line to mark the new gum line so that you can see exactly how much gum will be removed or how the gum line will be reshaped. Your dentist will also explain the procedure, discuss the type of anesthetic used, and discuss any potential risks associated with the procedure.
Dental clinics in Thailand are well-equipped and have skilled professionals performing gum contouring procedures. Major cities like Bangkok and Phuket have clinics that offer high-quality dental services at competitive prices.
During gum contouring, a local anesthetic is applied to numb the area. A soft tissue laser is then used to trim away excess gum tissue and sculpt a more uniform, balanced gum line. The laser seals blood vessels as it works, leading to minimal bleeding and discomfort during the procedure.
After the procedure, you may experience some sensitivity and swelling, which typically subsides within a few days to a week. You'll need to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy and hard foods to promote healing.
After undergoing gum contouring in Thailand, patients are advised to allow for at least a few days to a week for recovery in the country. This time allows for proper rest post-procedure and a follow-up visit to the dentist if necessary.
The costs of gum contouring in Thailand typically range between $150 to $350 per tooth. However, the costs can vary depending on the extent of reshaping required and the dental clinic chosen. It's important to remember that these costs do not include travel and accommodation expenses.

"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍
"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"Thanks for your help things went very smoothly. Your help is essential for easing my anxiety before my trip. Excellent job."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
"Konkai Health's service has truly been outstanding. From providing directions to the hospital, hotel recommendations in there, or simply checking up on how everything has gone. I fully recommend them to anyone wanting to see a doctor in Thailand."
I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.
I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery. I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.
Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
"Everything went really well the staff were kind and helpful my experience there was very good experience"
" I returned home safe and sound, Thank you for all your help :)"
