Gum Bleaching in London

Darker pigment on the gums is often caused by excess melanin (genetics), leading to a brown appearance. Gingival depigmentation, also known as gum whitening or gum bleaching, uses advanced laser technology to safely remove excess melanin and the cells responsible for its production.

£600 (upper and lower gums)

The procedure is typically painless, requiring only a minimal local anaesthetic. With the latest laser technology, recovery time is minimal, and the treatment usually takes just 30 to 40 minutes. In about 5% of cases, a second session may be necessary, which is offered at a reduced rate. Results can last for several years with proper aftercare.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent.  I had braces throughout lockdown.  Best choice, best service, best decision.  However on two occasions I had a different orthodontists, I'd have liked the same person.  Nevertheless still excellent

REVIEW 5 YEARS LATER

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.  TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE.  I AM NOT SURE AS TO WHY THE STANDARD HAS DROPPED.

Both my adult children have invested a few thousand pounds and both have experienced ill fitting and broken braces and retainers.  Unanswered calls, appointments one month away and teeth moving back to the original positions.  Sarcasm from staff and people not taking responsibility and lies.  Every single conversation has been recorded and the matters will now become legal.  Do not invest your time or energy with these people.  I could go further but it is apparent they treat people ‘differently’ enough is enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After several years of treatment with Dr Shanka, I can confirm, you cannot fault their service. I used to be extremely anxious of the dentist, and I’ve always felt at ease and welcomed here. I am very happy with my results, and having chosen Waldron Dental for my new smile. Thank you Dr Shanka! You are an asset to the practice.

Gum Bleaching Frequently asked questions

We know you may have questions before getting gum bleaching. Whether you’re interested in the procedure, results, cost, or how it can enhance your smile, we’re here to help. To help you feel confident and fully informed, we’ve answered some of the most common questions our patients ask about gum bleaching at Waldron Dental.

Who is a candidate?

The main guideline is simply that the gums must be healthy. We can assess your gum health at the free consultation that you have with our dentist. If you have darker pigmented areas of your gums, this procedure will help remove those areas and leave the underlying pink colour. Using the advanced Biolase soft tissue laser, bleeding is almost completely eliminated so most patients with dark gums are a candidate.

How long does the treatment take?

1. We initially carry out a detailed assessment to determine the amount and type of pigmentation that is needed for the gum bleaching.
2. We use the latest in Diode laser technology to ensure minimal discomfort and aftercare. In most cases, it is finished in just one 30-minute appointment. The treatment may require a local anaesthetic injection but often our concentrated gels make the procedure as comfortable as possible with a short recovery time with manageable discomfort.
3. As new tissue is created during healing, it tends to be pink rather than brown. Dependent on the depth of pigmentation additional appointments may be needed.
4. Patients who are treated with such a soft tissue laser can expect minor discomfort and no complications after the treatment. Patients with very sensitive gums may experience some discomfort for a short period of time.

How long does it take to heal?

Everything heals in about 2-4 weeks

How much does it cost?

The process costs £600. This includes a complimentary consultation and a 2-3 week review. Interest free payment plans are available for all options.

How long does it last?

Each patient is different, however, the results of a single session of gum bleaching can last for up to a period of 5-10 years and in some cases even a lifetime depending on genetics and post operative care (e.g. smoking).
