What is Laser Gum Depigmentation?

Laser gum depigmentation is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes dark patches or uneven pigmentation from the gums, often caused by excess melanin. Using a soft tissue laser, the outer pigmented layer of the gum is gently ablated to reveal healthier, lighter tissue underneath. The treatment is minimally invasive, virtually painless, and offers quick healing with little to no downtime. Laser gum depigmentation can dramatically enhance the overall appearance of the smile, especially for patients who feel self-conscious about dark or blotchy gums.

Some spots on the gums are caused by the formation of pigment (or melanin) on the gum tissue. The presence of these spots is not alarming. These spots are similar to freckles, which form on the gums instead of the skin.

However, this problem makes healthy gums appear unhealthy and has a negative impact on the smile’s beauty. For this reason, some people want to remove these stains.

These melanins on the gums can be removed quickly and painlessly with the help of a laser and in just one treatment session. (This process is called removing gum pigments). The recovery period of this treatment is also very short.

Which Method is Better? Laser Treatment or Bleaching?

Sometimes, bleaching methods are used to whiten the gums and remove stains. Although bleaching whitens the gums, because it is done on a larger area than the dark area, it can damage the gum tissue.

How Long Does Laser Gum Depigmentation Process Take?

The laser gum depigmentation process typically takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete. The exact duration depends on the extent of the pigmentation and the size of the area being treated. In some cases, the procedure might be shorter or longer based on individual needs and the specific techniques used by the dentist.

Patients often find the procedure to be relatively quick and minimally invasive. Recovery time is generally short, with most people experiencing minor discomfort and resuming normal activities shortly after the procedure. The use of advanced laser technology ensures precision and promotes faster healing.
