What Is Laser Gum Bleaching?

Laser gum bleaching, also known as gum lightening, is a cosmetic procedure that involves a minor surgical process to eliminate discoloration from the gums. It may be referred to by various names such as dark gum treatment, gum whitening, or gum depigmentation, but they all describe the same procedure.

While individuals naturally have different gum tones, some may experience darkening of the gums due to irritants or staining over time. Since the dark pigmentation is not always a person's natural gum color, gum bleaching offers a solution to remove this pigmentation and restore a natural, healthy-looking pink color to the gums.

Procedure for Gum Bleaching

We begin with a thorough assessment to determine the extent and type of pigmentation necessary for gum bleaching. Following this assessment, you'll receive a comprehensive treatment plan that includes the costs associated with laser gum bleaching. Our procedure utilizes the latest Class 4 Diode laser for optimal results, and local anaesthetic is administered to minimize discomfort during the process. In most cases, laser gum bleaching is completed in just one 20-minute session. However, some patients may require touch-up treatments depending on the depth of pigmentation. The healing process is quick for the majority of patients, typically taking only a few days due to minimal discomfort during and after treatment.
