Gum depigmentation
Gum depigmentation, also known as gum bleaching or gum lightening, is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at removing or reducing dark pigmentation or spots on the gums. This discoloration is often caused by excess melanin production in the gum tissue, leading to a darker appearance. Though the condition is usually harmless, some people seek treatment for aesthetic reasons.
Benefits:
Quick and effective for improving the aesthetics of the gums.
Non-invasive options like laser treatment offer minimal discomfort and faster recovery times.
Recovery:
After the procedure, patients may experience mild discomfort, swelling, or sensitivity for a few days.
Full healing can take 1-2 weeks depending on the method used.
