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.

Gum Bleaching Frequently asked questions
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.
