Brighten dark gums.
Keep the smile soft.
Also known as 'Gum Bleaching', this laser procedure gently removes dark melanin patches from the gums, revealing a uniform, healthy pink color.
First, we check pigmentation type
Gum depigmentation is about even tone, not changing who you are.
Dark gum patches can be natural melanin pigmentation. Treatment is planned only after checking gum health and smile display.

Your first visit
We do not start until the diagnosis is clear.
We assess whether the pigmentation is natural, where it appears when you smile, and whether gum inflammation needs treatment first.

Is this right for you?
Gum depigmentation is for healthy gums with unwanted dark pigmentation.
Before recommending gum depigmentation, we check whether it solves the real problem or whether another step should come first.
Usually suitable when
Dark gum patches show when you smile.
Your gums are healthy but the color feels uneven.
You want a softer pink appearance around the smile.
The pigmentation has been assessed as cosmetic melanin staining.
We may treat something first when
Bleeding, swelling, or gum disease should be treated before cosmetic gum work.
New, changing, or unusual lesions need proper diagnosis first.
Repigmentation risk should be discussed if your biology is prone to it.
When to act
Gum color affects the frame of the smile.
For patients bothered by dark patches, laser depigmentation can create a more even pink appearance.

Timing and risk
What healing involves
Gum color treatment needs a short healing period before the final tone is judged.
Tenderness is expected
Soft foods and gentle brushing help the gums settle.
Color settles gradually
The treated area can look different while the surface heals.
Pigment may return
Some patients naturally repigment over time and may need maintenance.
Aftercare for gum depigmentation
Your recovery and maintenance advice is specific to the treatment, not a generic handout.
Avoid spicy or rough foods while gums heal.
Brush gently around the treated area.
Use rinses only if prescribed.
Do not pick at healing tissue.
Attend the review visit if advised.
Call if swelling, bleeding, or pain increases.
