Definition

Aesthetic considerations have influenced the management of dental maladies in varying degrees for many years. A crown lenghthening is a surgical procedure that apically repositions the gingiva and possibly the alveolar bone in order to expose more tooth structure; may be done to facilitate restorative procedures or enhance aesthetics. The procedure can be done inside the clinic without any pain.

Advantages of a crown lengthening:

One of the major advantages of esthetic crown lengthening is that it is usually completed in one visit. Essentially, the excessive gum tissue that is hiding your teeth, is removed to expose the normal length of the tooth.

With esthetic crown lengthening, you’ll benefit from:

• An enhanced appearance of your teeth so that they no longer look short or like "baby teeth"
• A much more attractive and harmonious smile
• An improved self-image and more self-confidence
• Having healthier teeth and gum
• A relatively short healing period with little to no discomfort and Immediate visible results! In addition to the esthetic benefits derived from crown lengthening, correcting a “gummy” smile can also improve your overall periodontal health. When the gum tissue does not recede normally as adult teeth emerge, pockets can form in the gums, which can result in advanced periodontal disease. By contouring the gums through crown lengthening, you are not only improving the look and confidence of your smile but also you are preventing future problems.
