How to correct uneven color on teeth after a gingevectomy? (photo)

Easiest way is to whiten your teeth again at home with take home trays.  Have your dentist make new custom whitening trays and use gel for a few days.  Monitor if the area of the tooth below the yellow part is getting too white.  Usually your teeth can only reach a maximum whiteness.  The area that was under gingiva before the gingivectomy will take in the bleach more than the area that was already whitened.  Remember that your teeth will get dehydrated during the time your whitening and teeth will appear more chalky white for a couple days before they rehydate.  My advice is to wear the trays with the gel for 2 nights and then wait for 2 days and see what it looks like.  If they don't match - wear for an extra day or 2.  Good luck!

Hi:The best and easiest first step is to do cleaning and whitening to see how even the color becomes.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Possibly the best solution is to have several in office bleaching appointments in which the bleach can be applied just to the gingival area of the teeth. Using at home bleach trays will not work since the bleach will cover the whole front of the tooth and continue to bleach the already whiter area.
