Laser depigmentation

Do you have hyper pigmented gums? Do you avoid smiling or laughing in public because of this? The most common cause of darker pigments in the gums is genetics. Too much melanin can build up in the gums, making them appear brown or black. This does not indicate any disease or dysfunction. There are other causes of gum pigmentation such as smoking and regular consumption of certain medications which cause this as a side effect.
Laser depigmentation is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure against gingival hyperpigmentation.

What is that ?
Laser gingival depigmentation is a recent lightening technique recognized for its effectiveness in remedying melanin-pigmented gums.

At the Targa Dental Clinic, this cosmetic treatment has become short-lived and painless thanks to the use of Laser Diode, which eliminates these colorations in one session on each arch. The Diode laser is a recent technology whose effectiveness is tested and proven, specially designed for the treatment of certain gum problems such as surfacing and depigmentation.

Supported

A clinical examination and digital image analysis are required before starting treatment. The procedure takes 20 to 45 minutes depending on the color and size of the dark spot to be treated. Your dentist will give you local anesthesia to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. Patients can expect temporary discomfort but no complications after the procedure. The follow-up is done for three consecutive months.

Results

After the procedure, the gums are visibly clearer without discomfort. This is because the pain is usually mild during treatment and disappears immediately afterwards. In addition, no bleeding or swelling will be noted. Everything heals quickly, in about 2 weeks, and results can last for up to 20 years. Some patients will need touch-up treatments, but it depends on the depth of the pigmentation.

No matter how much gum pigmentation you have, we’re confident laser gum depigmentation may be right for you. At the Targa Dental Clinic, we will provide you with everything you need to enjoy your smile and limit the pain you feel.
