Gum Pigmentation Removal
Gum Pigmentation Removal For Even Color In Sandy Springs
Gum pigmentation removal helps lighten dark or patchy gums and gives you a more even, pink tone. Many people naturally have darker gums due to melanin, and while this isn’t harmful, it can sometimes draw unwanted attention away from the teeth. Other reasons gums may appear dark include tobacco use, certain medications, or prolonged irritation.
This treatment focuses only on gum color – no changes to the teeth. It’s meant for those who want their gums to look cleaner, smoother, and brighter. At our Sandy Springs office, the process is quick, safe, and doesn’t involve a long recovery time. We start by gently removing the darker layer of tissue from the gum surface.
New gum tissue then grows back lighter and more even. You won’t need any general anesthesia, and the entire visit is usually finished in less than an hour. Here’s how it works:
- Pigmented areas are treated while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched
- Most people only need one session for noticeable improvement
- Gums start healing right away and feel normal within a couple of days
