Depigmentation at dental destination

Gum depigmentation, or gum bleaching, is a cosmetic dentistry procedure to remove dark spots, patches, or discoloration on the gums caused by excess melanin. This condition, while not harmful, can affect the appearance of a smile. The treatment typically involves a single session using methods such as laser therapy, scalpel techniques, chemical peels, or cryosurgery. Local anesthesia ensures patient comfort during the procedure.

The dental professional removes the pigmented areas, resulting in uniform pink gums that enhance the overall smile. Post-procedure care includes specific oral hygiene practices to maintain the results and promote healing. Benefits of gum depigmentation include improved aesthetic appeal, increased self-confidence, quick results, and minimal downtime. Most patients can return to normal activities shortly after the treatment. Gum depigmentation offers a safe, effective, and convenient solution for achieving healthier-looking gums and a more attractive smile.
