LASER GUM BLEACHING LONDON
While it's a desirable trait, not everyone is born with pink gums. For various reasons, some people's gums appear dark, almost black in colour. Dark gums have been found to be common among members of specific ethnic groups, and the most common cause is genetic. In addition, exposure to irritants like cigarette smoke or specific medications may cause the gums to become discoloured.
Dark gums, however, do not necessarily signify a malfunction or illness. Laser gum bleaching is the solution if you want to have pink gums for a more attractive appearance but have dark gums. Gum lightening and a pink appearance are the results of laser gum bleaching at Piccadilly Dental.
WHY IS THE GUM DARK COLOUR AND HOW CAN IT GET PINK FROM LASER GUM BLEACHING?
Nevertheless, the laser gum bleaching process kills the cells that produce melanin and removes the gum tissue's outer, dark layer. Following laser gum bleaching, the regrowth of tissue will have a pinker tone and be lighter in colour, with almost no or very little pigmentation.
CAN I BE BLEACHED WITH A LASER GUM BLEACH?
When the dark spots on the gums are brought on by cells that produce melanin, laser gum bleaching works incredibly well. The most typical reason behind dark gums is this. Gum disease, amalgam tattooing, and discoloured tooth roots are additional potential causes of gum staining (or darkening). Not all gum darkening conditions are appropriate for laser gum bleaching.
In the following situations, laser gum bleaching might not be helpful:
- When gum disease is the cause of the darkening of the gums, laser gum bleaching is not recommended.
- Individuals with thin gums and teeth roots that are very near the surface should not use it. Sensitivity may result from treatment in these situations.
- Laser Gum Bleaching is not recommended when dark implants or roots are visible through the gum line, resulting in dark gums.
- Those who are taking medication shouldn't thin their blood.
We recommend that you have a free consultation at our clinic in the centre of London if you are considering the procedure. After reviewing your case, our clinician will determine whether laser gum bleaching is right for you.
WHAT HAPPENS IF ALL THE PIGMENTS ARE NOT REMOVED AND HOW EFFECTIVE IS LASER GUM BLEACHING?
Laser gum bleaching is a very effective procedure that can usually be finished in a single visit, at Piccadilly Dental particularly in situations where the gum's surface contains melanin-producing cells. A top-up may be necessary in some areas if they are more deeply embedded in the gums. Our clinic offers a complimentary follow-up appointment for one review session, which is arranged two to three weeks following the initial treatment.
WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF THE BLEACHING EFFECT OF LASER GUM?
Even though a lot of things can affect it, the effect usually lasts for a long time. Typically, the outcome can endure for at least 20 years.
IS IT PAINFUL TO BLEACH GUM OR DEPIGMENTATION WITH A LASER?
The process of laser gum bleaching is not uncomfortable. Only the gums' surface is treated with the laser during the procedure, and while some mild discomfort may be experienced, this can usually be controlled with local anaesthetic.
WHAT IS THE TIME FRAMEWORK FOR THE LASER GUM BLEACHING PROCEDURE?
The size of the gum-related area that requires treatment determines how much. The lengthier the process depends on the size, but the laser gum bleaching process typically takes 20 to 60 minutes to finish.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAL AFTER A LASER GUM BLEACHING PROCEDURE AT PICCADILLY DENTAL?
Although it differs from person to person, the healing process following laser gum bleaching is quick. Before the procedure is performed, the teeth are cleaned and polished during the hygiene appointment to promote proper healing. To speed up the healing process after treatment, it is best to abstain from smoking and practise good oral hygiene.
