Exposed tooth roots or a gummy smile can contribute to a poor smile appearance. Treatments for adjusting the height of the gums are performed in Aligning dentistry Dental Care.

Gum Depigmentation Or Gum Bleaching
Gum depigmentation or gum bleaching is a cosmetic dentistry procedure aimed at lightening or removing black spots or patches on the gums caused by melanin. These discolorations may sometimes result from long-term use of certain medications. The procedure can involve surgical techniques or LASER ablation to achieve the desired results
Melanocytes are cells responsible for pigmentation present in gums and skin, producing melanin that causes light or dark brown spots in gums and oral mucosa. The most common cause is genetic factors or tobacco smoking, known as Smoker's melanosis. Quitting smoking is the most effective way to reduce pigmentation, with many patients experiencing freedom from melanin pigmentation after 3 months.
At our clinic, we offer laser depigmentation, where a dental laser targets and ablates melanocytes, reducing melanin production in the gingival tissue. Following laser depigmentation, the gingiva heals by secondary intention, resulting in a lighter and more uniform gum color.
