Gum whitening at Sonrisa Perfecta Dental

Gum whitening has become one of the most requested procedures by Sonrisa Perfecta Dental patients due to its effectiveness. With a simple, painless, outpatient and accessible treatment, anyone can recover the natural pale pink of gums when they are healthy.

Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys is one of the pioneers in the application of this treatment in Colombia. Always at the forefront of the latest scientific advances in dentistry, she applies the gum whitening technique using the laser. Her results attract dozens of people from all over the world.

Why do gums darken

A person who has naturally pink gums can see that they darken for certain reasons. Doctors often associate some endocrine diseases, such as Addison’s disease. This pathology causes the development of dark spots on the mucous membranes, including the gum tissue.

Likewise, when people suffer from bacterial infections in the gums, these mucous membranes tend to lose their natural pink color and become darker. The same happens with people who suffer from lead poisoning.

Another common cause of darkening of the gums is tobacco consumption. Contrary to what many believe, this change in color is not due to residues from tobacco smoke. Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys explains that nicotine activates the production of melanin in the mouth. This results in the phenomenon of black gums. The definitive solution is to give up this habit to discourage the pigmentation process of the gums.

The director of the Sonrisa Perfecta Dental spa clinic points out that the consumption of some medications or even some treatments can darken the gums. This Colombian dentist warns that this group of possible causes includes antibiotics, antimalarials, anticancer drugs and antipsychotics. The general recommendation is that when a patient notices that their gums are darker after medication, it is important to consult the treating specialist.

This is the laser gum whitening procedure

The technology available at Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys’ Sonrisa Perfecta Dental spa-type clinic is a periodontal cosmetic procedure. The technique is dermabrasion achieved with the laser combined with whitening solutions specifically developed for this treatment. This combination gently removes the top layer of the gums.

When this tissue heals, it regains its former natural coral pink color. Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys explains that at Sonrisa Perfecta Dental they use a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort to the patient. Recovery is quick, so downtime is minimal. It is important to understand that when performed by professionals, this procedure is absolutely safe and effective.

Not all gums are the same color

The natural color of gums is not always a completely pale pink. In fact, its tone will depend on the amount of melanin produced by the body. It is the same pigment that provides skin color and is also found in gum tissue. People of African, Mediterranean or Asian descent usually have a higher amount of melanin and, consequently, darker gums.

In these cases, laser gum whitening treatment is not necessary, since it will be harmless. Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys emphasizes that this procedure only applies when the pigmentation is due to a circumstantial factor. The important thing is to consult a dentist specialized in aesthetic dentistry to determine the cause and the viability of the treatment.
