No. 6: Is gum depigmentation permanent?

Gum depigmentation is a surgical procedure that removes the affected tissue, and the results are generally considered permanent.

However, it is possible for new pigmentation to develop over time, although this is less likely with proper oral hygiene and a healthy lifestyle.

It is also possible for the gums to become discolored again due to factors such as trauma, disease, or hormonal changes.

If you have any concerns about the long-term results of gum depigmentation, it is best to speak with your dentist to discuss your specific needs and goals.

No. 7: Can dark gums be lightened?

Yes, dark gums can be lightened through cosmetic dental procedures such as laser gum depigmentation or laser gum bleaching.

These procedures are designed to remove or lighten the excess pigment in the gums, resulting in a lighter and more uniform appearance.

The specific technique used will depend on the extent of the discoloration and the individual’s specific needs and goals.

Like any medical procedure, laser gum bleaching can have side effects. Some of the most common side effects include:

  • Mild Discomfort: The gums may be tender and swollen for several days after the procedure, and pain relievers can be used to manage the discomfort.
  • Bleeding: It is normal for the gums to bleed for a short period of time after the procedure.

Recurrence of discolouration: The results of gum bleaching may not be permanent and the discolouration may return over time.

No. 9: How much does laser gum bleaching cost?

The cost of laser gum bleaching in Sydney can vary depending on several factors, such as degree, depth and location of the discolouration, the extent of the treatment, the type of procedure used, and the experience and qualifications of the dentist.

The healing time after a gum laser procedure can vary, but typically it takes about 24 hours to 7 days for the gums to fully heal.
