Laser gum lightening is a very effective procedure in dentistry due to its ability to improve the appearance of the gums and thus beautify the smile, especially for smokers who have dark gums.
Advantages of laser gum lightening

Laser gum lightening is a procedure with many advantages, the most important of which are the following:
● No surgery is involved here, which means that this procedure is very safe.
● It does not require a long recovery period; it is not like traditional surgeries that require a long recovery period.
● Usually, the patient is not required to make many commitments and preparations before starting the procedure.
● One of the main advantages of the laser here is that it makes the procedure completely painless.
● The results of this procedure are usually immediate, which means you can have a great smile in no time.
● Gum whitening can be a way to increase a person’s keenness to take care of their oral hygiene on a regular basis, which means enhancing the health of their gums and teeth.
● This reduces the possibility of transmitting infection to the patient, which is more likely to occur with traditional surgery.
Tips after laser gum whitening

At first, some may ask: When do the results of laser gum whitening appear?Fortunately, this procedure is one of the procedures with immediate results that appear immediately after completion.
All of this does not negate the necessity of following many tips to avoid darkening the gums again after lightening them, which we provide to you through the Smile Art Center.. These tips include all of the following:
● It is very important during the first period that the patient avoids eating anything hot, as this can cause gum inflammation.
● After smoking, smokers should completely avoid this habit, so that the gums do not become inflamed and return to their dark color again as if nothing had happened. This is the same thing that may also happen as a result of drinking caffeinated beverages.
● It is also necessary to avoid eating any soft foods; all of these foods may harm the health of both the gums and teeth.
● It is also preferable to use mouthwash according to the doctor’s instructions.
● You should always take care of your oral hygiene and brush your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss.
Results after laser gum whitening

This procedure does not require any incisions or sutures, so there is no long recovery period, and the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort.
Results appear immediately after the session, and if all post-operative instructions and advice are followed, these results may last for life.
After the procedure, there is no impediment to eating and drinking; however, it is necessary to avoid any foods that may cause inflammation of the gum tissue.
Although the results are immediate and the recovery period is short, it may take about 14 days for the gum tissue to fully heal.
How many sessions do you need for gum redness?
It is worth noting that in most cases, the gums are lightened with laser in one session without the need to repeat the process; as the results appear in the same session, and this is what we always strive for at Smile Art Center.
In some cases, after the gum tissue has completely healed from this procedure, you may notice some small spots that were not removed during the procedure. Here, a new session will be required to remove these spots. From our side, we follow up on the patient’s condition after healing to ensure that the desired results are achieved.
In most cases, a laser gum whitening session can take at least a third of an hour, but it does not exceed one hour.
