Gum Depigmentation: see it on your own smile first
Lighten dark pigmented patches on the gums.
Gum pigmentation — dark brown or grey-black patches on the gums — is usually just melanin, the same pigment as in skin, and completely benign. For people it bothers, depigmentation (typically laser) lightens the patches to an even coral pink.
Any dark gum patch should be looked at by a professional first to confirm it's ordinary pigmentation; that check is quick and worth it regardless of whether you treat.

The honest limits of this preview
Subtle, realistic lightening only. A preview can't see bone, bite, gum health or anything beneath the surface — only a clinical exam can. Treat it as a conversation starter for your dentist, never as a promised result.
Worth asking your dentist
- Is my pigmentation ordinary melanin, or something that needs investigating?
- How even a result can I expect, and can pigment return over time?
- What does recovery from laser depigmentation feel like?
