How much does gum depigmentation usually cost?
The cost of gum depigmentation depends on the treated area, technique, anaesthesia, examination needs, and follow-up care.
What does gum depigmentation treatment involve?
Gum depigmentation reduces melanin-related dark patches from the surface gingiva, often with a laser or surgical abrasion. Fees vary with treatment extent, clinician time, equipment, and periodontal treatment needed first.
What happens during planning for gum depigmentation?
A dentist maps the pigmentation, checks periodontal health, explains the technique and healing, and discusses possible repigmentation. Request a written plan separating examination, treatment, medicines, and reviews.
When should a dark gum area be examined first?
Seek assessment before cosmetic treatment if a dark area is new, irregular, ulcerated, bleeding, or changing. Diagnosis comes before fee comparison.
What should you ask about the gum treatment fee?
Ask which areas are included, which technique and anaesthetic are planned, and what additional care would change the quote.
