When you smile are your gums are visible? Colour of one’s gums plays a crucial role in aesthetics of a smile. Normal colour of gums is coral pink. In some people, due to excessive deposits of melanin (pigment responsible for dark colour) gums get darker colour than what is normal. This is observed more in dark complexed individuals. Lifestyle factors like tobacco smoking, increased exposure to sunlight tend to make gums darker. Certain pathological conditions like endocrine disorders, idiopathic diseases (of unknown cause) and certain oral mucosal conditions also cause pigmentation of gingiva. Certain drugs and metals induce pigmentation in gingiva. The reason our patients seek treatment is mostly because of an aesthetic preference. Dr VJ Dental Studio practices laser gum depigmentation at economical packages to achieve the goal of getting healthy pink gums with limited pain and swelling. Many conventional techniques like chemical peeling, cryosurgery, electro surgery, abrasion was being practiced since ages. But since their side-effects and recurrence rate is high, At Dr VJ Dental Studio, Our Smile Architect – Dr Vadivelan Jeyachandran use laser gum depigmentation to let our patients experience more relaxed and a painless treatment. Our doctor works meticulously to avoid injury to adjacent soft and hard tissues like gums, teeth and underlying bone. Laser gum depigmentation uses laser energy to peel off the gingival epithelium. This technique is minimally invasive causing less tissue loss and minimizes post op complications like pain, swelling and infection.
