Laser treatment for "dark" Gums
-
Laser treatment for periodontal (gum) diseases
Melanin hyper-pigmentation, or "dark gums", is prevalent in certain individuals who have darker complexions. These dark spots can cause an undesirable appearance to otherwise healthy, pink gums. Through dental laser technology, Dr. Anshu can painlessly and accurately remove these problem areas. Laser treatment of dark gums can be done in as little as one office visit and with very quick healing time.

A "Gum Lift" is a cosmetic dental procedure that raises and sculpts the gum line. This procedure involves reshaping the tissue to create the appearance of longer and symmetrical teeth, making the smile more aesthetically pleasing. Gum lifts are typically done to reduce excessivelys gummy smiles or to balance out an asymmetrical gum line. Using dental laser technology, Dr. Anshu performs a virtually pain-free gum lifting procedure with an exceptionally short healing period. Click here to learn more about the Gum Lift procedure.
Laser Gum Lift Case Study
Laser Gum Lift Case Study
Receding gums refer to a loss of gum tissue resulting in an exposure of the roots of the teeth. Gum recession is a common problem in adults over the age of 30 but may also occur in some teens. Gum recession can cause tooth sensitivity, impair dental aesthetics, and, in rare cases, even lead to tooth loss. Our dental laser technology allows Dr. Anshu to perform gum grafting procedures in minutes with virtually no bleeding of the operated site. And in most cases, it is not necessary to take painful gum grafts from other parts of the mouth, like the palate. Precise dental laser energy sterilizes the area, dramatically reducing postoperative discomfort and promoting faster healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
​
What causes dark or discolored gums?
Dark gums, also called melanin hyperpigmentation, are common in individuals with darker complexions and are caused by excess melanin production in the gum tissue — not a sign of disease.
Is laser treatment for dark gums permanent?
Results are generally long-lasting, though some patients may experience gradual re-pigmentation over time due to natural melanin production. Touch-up treatments can be performed if needed.
What is a "gummy smile," and how is it treated?
A gummy smile occurs when excess gum tissue covers too much of the tooth surface, making teeth appear shorter. Laser gum lift treatment reshapes the gum line to expose more of the natural tooth, creating a more balanced smile.
Is laser gum treatment painful?
Laser treatment for dark gums, gummy smiles, and gum recession is designed to be virtually pain-free, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort and a short healing period.
How long does recovery take after laser gum treatment?
Healing time is typically much faster than traditional surgical methods, with many patients recovering within days rather than weeks.
Can laser treatment fix gum recession without a traditional gum graft?
In many cases, yes — laser technology allows gum grafting to be performed with minimal bleeding, and often without needing to take tissue from another part of the mouth, such as the palate.
How many treatments are needed to see results?
Many of these procedures, including dark gum treatment and gum lifts, can be completed in a single office visit, though your specific case will be assessed during a consultation.
