Laser Gingivectomy for Gummy Smile for Dark Skin

Laser Gingivectomy for Dark Gums

A great smile and improving the overall appearance of your mouth require whiter teeth and pinker gums. A slight variation in the colour of your gums, which is easily visible, can impact your smile’s attractiveness and confidence. This is why you desire pink, healthy gums. Do you desire pink gums to have a beautiful smile? Schedule a consultation with one of our cosmetic dentists at the Hollywood Smile Dental Clinic in Dubai.

What Causes Gum Pigmentation?

Genetics is usually the culprit for darker gum colours. Pink gums often turn dark instead of pink when there is an excess of melanin. Some ethnic groups are more vulnerable to this than others, such as those with Middle Eastern or African roots. The excess pigmentation indicates no disease or dysfunction. Patients think about getting treatment because they prefer the aesthetics of pink gums that show off their teeth more prominently.

 

Smoking, adverse drug reactions, and potential gum damage from amalgam fillings are additional reasons for dark gums.

Hollywood Smile Dental Clinic is one of the few dental clinics in Dubai that offers laser gum bleaching.

How to Get Rid of Darker Gums?

You can remove the brown or black colour on your gums and replace it with lovely pink gums. This may be done with a gum “depigmentation” procedure.

Hollywood Smile can now cure dark gum patches with a rapid office process that targets the areas with an excess of melanin to lighten them, thanks to the development of laser gum depigmentation in Dubai. Several things might cause melanin buildup, including:

  • genetic influences
  • Smoking and specific drug side effects
  • Silver restorations or crowns may cause silver particles to accumulate in the gums, causing discolouration.

Who is a candidate for Gum Depigmentation?

The primary oral hygiene rules apply here. Your gums must be healthy to get gum depigmentation. During the free consultation you have with our dentist, we will evaluate the condition of your gums. The following cannot receive this treatment. 

  • Patients with oral disease are ineligible for this cosmetic procedure.
  • Patients who have periodontal disease and have black gums (this is not a surface pigment problem)
  • Individuals using blood thinners (these can cause excessive bleeding during treatment)
  • Patients with pronounced tooth roots or weak gum tissue (they may experience ongoing sensitivity if the removal of gum tissue accidentally exposes roots)

Frequently Asked Question

We provide a range of dental services at Hollywood Smile Dental Clinic, from cosmetic dentistry to regular oral health services. 

The cost of the gum depigmentation procedure will depend on the discolouration's size, depth, and location. Each patient will require a different amount of gum bleaching treatment, and the cost will need to be determined individually.

Gum depigmentation lasts for several years. The black melanin deposits might progressively resurface in the future. Future treatments are a possibility. According to our observation, gums quickly become discoloured when smoking or vaping. 

Our doctors will urge us to avoid meals that may be uncomfortable for a few days after treatment. These include hot, acidic, crunchy, or hard foods.
