Pigmentation of gum on your upper teeth is quite normal. It happens due to melanin deposition,which is a normal condition. scaling can only clean your teeth.
If you feel that your gums are visible while smiling you can go for depigmentation of gums via laser.
Next Steps
You can go for laser gingival depigmentation or gingival stripping, on your visit to your nearby dental clinic.
