Dental Concerns

Concerned About Dark or Patchy Gums?

Healthy gums are typically pale pink.
If your gums look dark, uneven, or brownish-black, you’re not alone.
Many patients feel self-conscious about gum discolouration—especially when smiling.

At Dream Smile Dental Clinic in London, we’re one of the UK’s leading clinics for laser gum depigmentation, offering safe, fast and effective solutions for brighter, healthier-looking gums.

Common Causes of Gum Discolouration

Laser Gum Depigmentation at Dream Smile Dental Clinic

We’ve performed thousands of successful laser depigmentation cases.
Using advanced dental lasers, we gently remove the excess pigment without cutting or stitches.
Most patients see immediate results and minimal discomfort.

  • Safe for all skin types

  • No downtime

  • Long-lasting results

  • Genetics Some people naturally have more melanin in their gums. This leads to darker or patchy pigmentation, especially common in certain ethnic backgrounds.
  • Smoking Nicotine stimulates melanin production in the gums. This causes dark spots or an overall greyish appearance.
  • Medications Certain drugs (like antimalarials or minocycline) can stain gum tissue. Discolouration usually appears slowly and unevenly.
  • Amalgam Tattoos Old silver fillings can leak particles into the gums. These appear as small, flat blue or grey marks near the treated tooth.

I saw Dr Mohsen over the course of 15 months for Invisalign and composite bonding. The treatment provided was nothing short of exceptional and I am thrilled with the end results. Dr Mohsen truly is skilled when it comes to correcting both cosmetic and functional (bite) issues with Invisalign, working to give you the absolute best result possible . It is clear from speaking with Dr Mohsen (even from the very first consultation) is a genuine care for patients and giving them honest advice on what would be the best solution for them as opposed to simply looking to make a sale as I have found was the case with other consultations I had. I was re assured throughout the treatment that everything was going to plan (including regular checkups with the dr himself every 4-6 weeks) and where amendments were needed / I had questions or concerns these were addressed and with the upmost attention. If you are looking for an experienced, caring and affordable Invisalign provider, I would thoroughly recommend the clinic and Dr Mohsen- you will not regret the decision.

As a dentist myself, I know I can be quite particular when it comes to detail but Dr. Mohsen was kind enough to take me on for my smile makeover, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He placed 8 veneers for me, and I’ve had so many compliments on how beautiful and natural they look.

What really stood out was how gentle and caring he was throughout the process! I didn’t even feel his injections! He genuinely took the time to make sure I was comfortable and looked after at every stage. It’s rare to find someone with such a great mix of technical skill and emotional intelligence in dentistry.

Thank you, Dr. Mohsen, for giving me a smile I’m proud of!

I’ve been a patient at Dream Smile since 2014 and couldn’t be happier. As someone who dreaded going to the dentist due previous traumatic experiences, I can confidentially say that Dr Mohsen and the team look after their patients with exceptional care.
Thank you looking after my teeth with such care for over 10years, I couldn’t be happier and would recommend you over and over again!

Treatments: Invisalign, gum contour, root canal, filling replacements
