 Gum Depigmentation


Gum or gingival depigmentation is a cosmetic dentistry procedure used to remove dark spots on the gums.

While the normal gum color is pale pink, abnormally high amounts of melanin can cause dark spots and patches to appear on the gum tissue.

This condition can effect the appearance of your smile and result in decreased confidence and self-esteem.

A variety of techniques exists to remove gum pigmentation, also known as black gums.

Some doctors utilize chemical agents or bleaching solutions.

At Choufani Dental Polyclinic, we use depigmentation by Soft Laser ( Elexxion)

Because this method of treatment does not remove the structures causing the overproduction of melanin,

a higher likelihood exists that the condition will recur than with surgical methods.

Frequently Asked Questions:

. How do I know if I’m suffering from gum pigmentation?

Gum pigmentation manifests differently for every patient. Some people notice small, dark spots on the gums,

while others experience vast black or brown patches.

. Is dark gums a medical problem?

While gum pigmentation is not medically dangerous, many patients feel that the condition is aesthetically displeasing.

Gum depigmentation can help you achieve the healthy-looking smile you desire.

. What will my gums look like after depigmentation?

After undergoing gum depigmentation, most patients find that their gums are lighter and more consistent in color,

without dark spots or patches.

. What are the causes of gum pigmentation?

A number of factors can contribute to gum pigmentation including genetics, poor dental hygiene and smoking.

Although anyone can suffer from gum pigmentation, people with darker skin tend to have a greater risk of experiencing melanin buildup.

Certain medication also contribute to gum pigmentation.
