The principle guideline indicates that gums should be healthy. The dentist will assess your gum health during the consultation.

Laser gum depigmentation

Laser produces heat that vaporizes and removes the top thin layer of the gum tissue and destroys the melanin-producing cells. As new tissue grows during healing, it tends to be pink rather than brown. Treatment may require the use of local anesthetic and has a short recovery period with minimum discomfort. Sometimes, depending on the color and depth of the dark spot, it may take several sessions to achieve the desired degree of brightening.
