Laser Gum Bleaching & Depigmentation in Bangkok
The most common reason of darker gums is genetics. Excess melanin pigment can accumulate in the gums, looking brown or black instead of natural pink. As a result, it is more common in certain ethnic groups like African or Middle Eastern.
Other causes for dark gums include smoking, side effects from certain medications, and amalgam tattoo in the gum.
Global Dental Complex is one of a few dental centers offering Laser Gum Bleaching (Depigmentation)

Results and Longevity of Pink Gums Treatment
It can last up to a lifetime. However, smoking and some medications can cause recurrence of dark pigment.
Duration of Laser Gum Bleaching Procedure
The laser gum depigmentation procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes. We normally give you topical anesthetic without injection to make the procedure as comfortable as possible .
How Does Laser Gum Bleaching Work?
Laser gum depigmentation vaporizes and removes a thin top layer of the gum tissue, destroying the cells that produce melanin. As new tissue is created during healing, it tends to be pink rather than brown. Sometime depending on the colour and depth of the dark area, it could take several sessions to achieve the desired pink colour.
Who is a Candidate for Laser Gum Bleaching?
The main indication is the gums must be healthy. We can assess your gum and oral health with our periodontist or gum doctor. Gum Treatment Specialists
