Laser Gum Depigmentation
What is Laser Gum Depigmentation?
Laser gum depigmentation removes excess melanin deposits that cause dark or uneven patches on the gums, revealing the healthy pink tissue underneath. The procedure uses a dental laser to precisely vaporise the pigmented surface layer with minimal impact on surrounding tissue. It’s a purely cosmetic, quick, and safe treatment that can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile, especially for patients whose gum pigmentation is a source of self-consciousness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes dark patches on the gums?
Gum pigmentation is usually caused by excess melanin deposits, which can occur naturally or be more pronounced in some individuals — it’s not harmful, but purely cosmetic in nature.
Is laser gum depigmentation permanent?
Results are long-lasting for most patients, though some natural repigmentation can occur gradually over several years in certain individuals.
Does the procedure hurt?
With local anaesthesia, the procedure is generally painless, and any post-procedure discomfort is minimal.
How long does healing take?
Most patients see the pink tissue emerge within a week as the treated area heals.
Can all patients undergo gum depigmentation?
Most patients with healthy gums are good candidates; we’ll confirm suitability during your consultation.
