What the Crown Lengthening Procedure Looks Like

Crown lengthening is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that uses a laser to remove excess gum tissue, exposing more of a tooth’s surface above the gum line. This procedure can be used not just for cosmetic purposes, but also to repair rotting or broken teeth.

If there is insufficient tooth structure remaining to support dental crowns, a crown lengthening operation will expose more tooth surfaces, allowing our dentists to place a new crown. This technique will make the crowns fit more securely over uneven or broken teeth.

Benefits of Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a popular dental cosmetic surgery because of its many benefits, which include the following:

• Saves Your Tooth: Crown lengthening helps restore a fractured tooth by reducing excess gum tissue to make room for a dental crown.

• Improves your smile: The process exposes the surface of your teeth above the gum line, which helps to fix a gummy smile. This will improve the appearance of your smile by balancing out the length of your teeth.

• Reduces the risk of tooth decay: Having excess gum covering some of your teeth offers germs plenty of space to flourish within your mouth. A crown lengthening procedure can help remove these gum pockets and lower the risk of tooth decay.

• Supports restorative treatment: For a tooth to effectively adhere to a bridge, implant, or crown, the gum line must be at the appropriate level. Furthermore, a huge amount of gum tissue makes it impossible or exceedingly difficult to insert a filling. Crown lengthening can help with all of these restorative operations and return a tooth to good health.
