How Do Black Gums Look?


Black gums are not necessarily black. The term “black gum” refers to a condition in which too much melanin is present in the gum tissue. Although the gums can take on a black color, they may also look brown, gray or purple. Some people have the discolorations covering their gum tissue, while others have spots or streaks of darker color on their gums. If you have black gum tissue, you may wonder what options are available.

We encourage potential patients to check out our black gums pictures. These images show real patients who have undergone gum lightening treatments. These treatments are designed to remove superficial discolorations, as well as the melanin-producing cells to leave your gums looking pink, bright and attractive. We can treat patients with just a few spots of discolorations, as well as those with more widespread stains and dark patches.

Healthy gums are critical for a successful outcome. The procedure takes place during a single appointment. We may apply a topical numbing gel to eliminate any discomfort before applying the special bleaching solution and performing the dermabrasion. Once your treatment is complete, your gums will be free of dark tissue for life. Call us to learn more about black gums and their treatments or to schedule an appointment with our team.
