Lighten Your Gums and
Brighten Your Smile

Gum depigmentation aims to lighten dark or uneven gum tissue caused by smoking, genetics, or certain medications. At BioDental, we use a safe technique to remove the excess melanin causing discoloration. The process involves using a specialized laser or scalpel to remove the pigmented layers of gum tissue. This non-invasive treatment is quick and involves minimal discomfort, leaving your gums looking healthier and more uniform. The result is a brighter, more aesthetically pleasing smile that complements your natural teeth.

Gum Depigmentation Helps With:

  • Dark spots or patches on the gums
  • Uneven gum pigmentation
  • Hyperpigmentation caused by smoking
  • Discoloration due to certain medications
  • Aesthetic concerns regarding gum appearance
  • Gums with excessive melanin buildup

What Is the Gum Depigmentation Process?

The gum depigmentation process at BioDental is simple. First, Dr. Matian will evaluate your gums and discuss your goals. Then, using a specialized laser or scalpel, he will gently remove the pigmented areas of your gum tissue. The procedure is quick, and most patients experience little discomfort. Afterward, your gums will heal, revealing a more even appearance.

How Long Does the Gum Depigmentation Procedure Take?

The gum depigmentation procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of pigmentation. During your consultation, Dr. Matian will discuss your specific needs to give you a more accurate estimate of the time required for your treatment.

Benefits of Gum Depigmentation:

  • Enhances the appearance of the smile
  • Creates a more uniform gum color
  • Non-invasive with minimal discomfort
  • Quick procedure with little downtime
  • Safe and effective for various gum pigmentation issues
  • Improves overall gum health and aesthetics
  • Long-lasting results with proper care

Is Gum Depigmentation Painful?

Dr. Matian uses local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout. Some patients experience mild discomfort or sensitivity following the treatment, but this is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How Soon Will I See the Results?

After the procedure, you will notice an immediate improvement in the appearance of your gums. The treated areas will be lighter and more even in color. Full results become apparent as your gums heal, which typically takes about 1 to 2 weeks. Any remaining pigmentation should be significantly reduced or eliminated, giving you a brighter, more aesthetically pleasing smile.
