When you imagine the perfect smile, you probably think of straight, white teeth. But the color and appearance of your gums matter just as much. Dark, patchy gums can make many people feel self-conscious—even when their teeth are healthy and beautiful.
At Whyte Dental Studio in Hegde Nagar, Bengaluru, we offer a modern cosmetic solution called Laser Gum Depigmentation. This safe, minimally invasive treatment lightens dark gums and enhances the overall harmony of your smile—quickly and comfortably.

If you’ve noticed brown, purplish, or uneven pigmentation in your gums, here’s everything you need to know about this advanced procedure.
What is Laser Gum Depigmentation?
Also known as gum bleaching, gum depigmentation removes excess melanin from the gums. While darker gums are not a health problem, many people prefer a lighter pink tone for a more aesthetic smile.
At Whyte Dental Studio, we use soft tissue diode lasers that ensure:
Little to no discomfort
Faster healing
No bleeding
Natural, even results
Why Do Gums Appear Dark?
Common causes include:
Genetics and natural melanin activity
Smoking-related pigmentation
Side effects of certain medications
Poor oral hygiene and inflammation
Rare systemic conditions like Addison’s disease
Regardless of the cause, laser treatment provides a safe and effective cosmetic solution.
How Does Laser Depigmentation Work?
Using focused laser energy, the outer pigmented gum layer is gently removed. Healthy new tissue regenerates, leaving gums lighter and evenly toned.
Procedure flow:
Consultation and clinical photos
Local or topical anesthesia
Laser removal of pigmented tissue
Aftercare instructions for smooth recovery
Sessions usually last 30–60 minutes, with visible improvement in just a couple of weeks.
Is It Painful?
Most patients describe the treatment as painless, with only mild warmth or tingling. Since there are no cuts or stitches, recovery is quick—initial healing in 3–5 days and complete results within 2 weeks.
Who is a Good Candidate?
You may benefit from laser gum depigmentation if you:
Dislike the dark or patchy appearance of your gums
Have healthy gums with no active infection
Do not smoke (or plan to quit for long-lasting results)
Prefer a minimally invasive, fast cosmetic option
How Long Do Results Last?
Results typically last for years. However, in individuals with high natural melanin activity, mild re-pigmentation may occur. Touch-ups can be easily done if needed.
