Gum depigmentation, also known as gum bleaching, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to remove or reduce dark spots and patches on the gums. These dark areas are often caused by excess melanin production in the gum tissues, leading to a brown or black appearance instead of a healthy pink color. While gum pigmentation does not usually indicate a medical problem, it can affect the overall aesthetics of your smile and your self-confidence.
At Kairon Polyclinic, our gum depigmentation procedure is carried out using advanced laser or surgical techniques that gently remove the top layer of pigmented gum tissue. Once the outer layer is removed, the gums naturally heal with a lighter, more even tone. The treatment is minimally invasive, virtually painless, and provides long-lasting results. Laser technology also ensures minimal bleeding, quick healing, and precise targeting of pigmentation without damaging surrounding tissues.
Gum depigmentation is suitable for individuals who are concerned about the dark color of their gums and wish to achieve a brighter, more attractive smile. You may consider this treatment if:
The procedure is purely cosmetic, so it is typically chosen by people who desire a more harmonious and confident smile.
