The Treatment Process
Your dark gum treatment journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your gum health and pigmentation pattern. During the procedure, our specialized dental laser gently removes the melanin-pigmented layer of tissue, revealing the natural pink gum tissue underneath. The treatment requires no incisions or sutures, and most patients return to their normal activities immediately.
Recovery and Results
Most patients experience minimal discomfort following the procedure. The treated gums typically heal within a few days, revealing a lighter, more aesthetically pleasing appearance. While results are long-lasting, some patients may require occasional touch-up treatments, particularly if lifestyle factors like smoking continue.
Maintaining Your Results
To ensure lasting results from your dark gum treatment, we recommend:
- Maintaining excellent oral hygiene
- Attending regular dental check-ups
- Avoiding tobacco products
- Addressing any underlying gum health issues promptly
