Can You Have Your Gums Bleached?

Teeth whitening is a highly sought-after treatment that can significantly improve the appearance of a smile. Cosmetic gum bleaching may be less well-known but can be just as effective at rejuvenating your look. Gums can become dark and discolored as a result of smoking, medications, diet, and metal restorations. People with darker skin tones may be more prone to naturally dark gums as a result of excess melanin in their gums and skin.

The gums act as a frame for your teeth. Pink, healthy gums create the perfect backdrop against which your teeth can really shine. When you have black gum tissue or your gums have spots and stains on them, the beauty of your teeth can be reduced. Gum bleaching is an effective way to improve the look of your gums and your teeth with just one treatment.

We offer gum lightening treatments that can be completed in about an hour, and the results are permanent. In some cases, a topical application may be all that is needed while more complex issues may also require laser treatment or dermabrasion for the most effective results.
