Gum Whitening Using Lasers

A perfect smile is more than just having healthy, pearly white teeth. Gums frame the teeth; thus, their appearance is an important component of a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing smile. Gums come in a variety of colors, including pink, red, brown, and black, which are primarily determined by the amount of melanin a person produces. The darker an individual’s gums are, the more melanin they produce. However, having dark gums can make some people self-conscious about their smile.

Gum Whitening in Ajman is an excellent option for those who want lighter pink gums.

What is Laser Gum Depigmentation?

Laser gum depigmentation is a simple procedure in which our cosmetic dentist uses a dental laser to target and lighten gum pigmentation areas that have excess melanin. It is a simple and quick procedure for gum pigmentation removal, that does not include the use of harsh chemicals or bleaches. The non-pigmented gum areas remain unaffected, and improvement is visible immediately after gum pigmentaion treatment.

Ideal Candidate for Gum Depigmentation

A good candidate for gum pigmentation treatment is someone who is generally healthy and fulfils the following criteria:

  • Has good gums
  • Gums that are dark brown or dark-colored
  • There are no thin gum tissues
  • There is no periodontal disease
  • Is not taking blood thinners

Pre-Requisite for Gum Depigmentation Treatment

Gum pigmentation removal begins with an initial consultation with our expert cosmetic dentists at Bliss Medical Center. You will also be given pre-procedure instructions such as:

  • To make your medical history available.
  • To have your gums examined physically.
  • Take the prescribed medication.
  • Stop drinking alcohol and quit smoking.
  • Certain medications, such as aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications, should be avoided.
  • Refrain from foods and drinks a few hours before the procedure.

How does Laser Gum Depigmentation work?

During the Laser Gum Depigmentation procedure, the laser generates heat, which vaporizes and eliminates the top thin layer of gum tissue and destroys melanin-producing cells. The new tissues formed during the healing process are pink in color.

Treatment may necessitate local anesthesia, and the recovery period is brief and painless. Depending on the color and depth of the dark spot, several sessions may be needed to achieve the desired level of brightening.

Downtime

The gum-bleaching procedure requires very little to almost no downtime. After the procedure, you may experience slight discomfort and a burning sensation, which can be alleviated with pain medication. Some individuals may experience swelling over the gums, which usually resolves within a few days. A follow-up appointment will be necessary to keep track of the healing progress.

Benefits of Laser Gum Depigmentation

Laser gum depigmentation offers a wide array of benefits, including:

  • Laser gum depigmentation can lighten dark or discolored gum tissue, resulting in a more even and aesthetically pleasing gum line.
  • Lightening the gum tissue through laser depigmentation can boost self-esteem and increase confidence when smiling and speaking.
  • Laser technology targets pigmented areas precisely, minimizing the impact on surrounding healthy gum tissue.
  • Laser treatment is associated with minimal discomfort during and after the procedure, reducing the need for extensive anesthesia or pain management.
  • Laser technology cauterizes blood vessels as it works, resulting in minimal bleeding and a cleaner surgical field.
  • The noninvasive procedure often leads to faster healing than traditional gum surgery.
  • Laser gum depigmentation is often quicker than traditional surgical methods
  • Recovery after laser gum depigmentation is usually straightforward, involving minimal post-procedure care and maintenance.
