Understanding Solea Laser for Gingival Depigmentation

The Solea laser is a revolutionary CO2 dental laser that revolutionizes cosmetic gum treatments by enabling precise tissue modification without the need for scalpels or sutures. It targets pigmented gum tissue while protecting healthy areas, making it ideal for gingival depigmentation. Dr. Lari, our laser dentist in Rancho Santa Margarita, expertly uses the Solea laser to remove unwanted pigmentation, promoting healing and collagen production for healthier gum tissue. This advanced technology eliminates bleeding, swelling, and lengthy recovery times common with traditional methods.

Benefits of Laser Dentistry

1.

Virtually painless procedure

Treatment requires only a topical anesthetic with minimal bleeding due to the laser’s cauterizing effect on blood vessels.

2.

Immediate recovery

Most patients return to normal activities right away with significantly reduced healing time.

3.

Precise, natural results

The laser ensures even pigment removal for consistently natural-looking outcomes.

4.

Enhanced safety

Bactericidal properties reduce the risk of infection while promoting faster healing and minimizing post-operative discomfort.

Laser gum depigmentation removes dark spots, resulting in pink gums that last 10-15 years in one painless visit.

What to Expect at Your Laser Dentistry Appointment at Elite Dentistry

Your gingival depigmentation treatment at Elite Dentistry is comfortable and typically completed in a single visit. Your treatment includes: 

  1. Initial Evaluation: Dr. Lari examines your gums and takes photographs to document the current pigmentation patterns. Together, you’ll discuss realistic expectations and create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
  2. Preparation and Anesthesia: A topical anesthetic gel is applied to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. You’ll receive protective eyewear, and the treatment area will be isolated for optimal laser access.
  3. Laser Treatment: Dr. Lari carefully removes the pigmented layer of gum tissue using the Solea laser with precise, controlled movements. The procedure is quiet and produces no vibration, and most patients report only mild warmth sensations.
  4. Post-Treatment Care: Immediately after treatment, your gums may appear slightly white or gray, which is completely normal. Dr. Lari provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and beautiful results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Results from laser gingival depigmentation are typically long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their pink gums for 10-15 years or more. However, pigmentation may gradually return over time due to genetic factors, and touch-up treatments can be performed if needed.

Most patients experience minimal to no pain during the laser procedure, often requiring only a topical anesthetic. Post-treatment discomfort is mild and usually managed with over-the-counter pain relievers for a day or two.

Initial healing occurs within 1-2 weeks, but the complete aesthetic transformation becomes apparent after 4-6 weeks. Your gums will progressively develop their new pink color as the tissue fully heals and regenerates.
