What Is Gum Depigmentation?

Gum Depigmentation, also known as Gum Bleaching or Gingival Depigmentation, is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes excess melanin or dark spots from the gums.
While melanin is a natural pigment, some individuals have higher concentrations that cause their gums to appear dark brown, bluish, or black instead of healthy pink.

Showing Laser Gum Depigmentation Process

Laser Gum Depigmentation

This is the most preferred and advanced method for lightening dark gums. The procedure uses a soft-tissue diode laser to gently remove the superficial pigmented layer without damaging healthy tissue.

Benefits:

  • Painless, bloodless, and minimally invasive
  • No sutures or extensive recovery required
  • Natural pink gums within days
  • Long-lasting results with proper care

Highlights:

  • Aftercare – Avoid smoking and spicy foods for a few days; maintain gentle oral hygiene

Conventional Gum Depigmentation (Scalpel Technique)

In certain cases, especially where laser access is limited, a manual surgical technique may be used. The pigmented surface layer of the gum is carefully removed, allowing new, lighter tissue to regenerate.

Benefits:

  • Effective for deeper pigmentation
  • Cost-effective option for suitable cases
  • Long-lasting and stain-resistant

Highlights:

  • Aftercare – Mild discomfort may occur; prescribed ointments aid healing

(The scalpel method is a traditional approach—most patients now opt for laser gum depigmentation. This section is for informational reference.)
