You may have a smile worthy of Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, but if your gums appear anywhere from light brown to black in color, people may not even notice your perfect teeth. You may think there are no ways to fix your darkened gums. Turns out, there are treatment options for black gums, the most popular one being gum whitening or gum bleaching.
What Is Gum Bleaching Treatment?
Gum bleaching involves removing extra pigment from the gums. Most treatments involve a sort of dermabrasion, laser removal, or a combination of the two. During treatment, patients should feel no discomfort and should be able to go about their daily business upon leaving the treatment center.
What Can Gum Bleaching Fix?
Whether you have small brown streaks or large dark spots on your gums, gum bleaching can do away with them. So long as you have no pre-existing dental conditions, you should qualify for this treatment.
How Long Does Gum Bleaching Take?
Treatment times for gum lightening can last anywhere from less than an hour to multiple treatment sessions. The duration of your gum bleaching will vary based on the starting pigment of your gums.
