Understanding Dental Crown Lengthening

The dental crown lengthening procedure is a specialized surgery that aims to expose more tooth structures. This can be done by reshaping or removing excess gingival tissue. This procedure can be recommended for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Gummy Smiling Correction

    Some people have a "gummy" smile, where an excessive amount of gum tissue covers the teeth and makes them look short or disproportionate. This aesthetic issue can be addressed by dental crown lengthening, which reshapes the gum line to reveal a more natural tooth structure.

  • Preparation for Restorative Dentistry

    In some cases, dental crown lengthening is necessary to expose enough tooth structure to receive restorative treatments like dental bridges or veneers. Dr. Patel will remove excess gum tissue to expose more of the surface of the teeth. This allows him to ensure the proper fit, retention, and aesthetics for the restorations.

  • Treatment for Tooth Decay and Fractures

    When decay or fractures are near the gumline it can be difficult for Dr. Patel to restore the tooth if he does not have access to the area. Dental crown lengthening allows for better visibility and access, which can allow for a more thorough cleaning and removal of damaged or decayed tissue.

  • Improved Gum Health

    In some cases, excessive gum tissue can contribute to poor dental hygiene and increase gum disease risk. By reducing the size of gum pockets, dental crown lengthening improves gum health.

Our Approach to Dental Crown Lengthening

We at Smile Savers Dentistry understand that each patient has unique needs and goals. Our dental crown lengthening approach is customized to meet your needs and goals. What to expect during dental crown lengthening:

  • Comprehensive Assessment

    Dr. Patel will begin by conducting a thorough evaluation of your dental health, and then discuss your cosmetic goals and possible treatment options. She will evaluate your teeth, surrounding structures, and gums to determine which approach is best for dental crown enlargement.

  • Digital Imaging and Treatment Planning

    We use advanced digital imaging to create accurate images and measurements of teeth and gums to develop a personalized treatment plan. This allows Dr. Patel the ability to communicate effectively and visualize the proposed changes in your smile.

  • Surgical Procedure

    Dr. Patel removes excess gingival tissue and reshapes the gum line to reveal a more natural tooth structure. She may remove some bone tissue, depending on the results you want. This procedure is done under local anesthesia for your comfort.

  • Recovery and Healing

    After dental crown lengthening you may experience minor swelling, discomfort, or sensitivity. Dr. Patel provides post-operative instructions to manage discomfort and promote healing. Follow these instructions carefully and make sure you attend your follow-up appointments to ensure that you recover smoothly.

  • Final Results

    As the swelling and healing of the gums subside, you will begin to notice the final effects of dental crown lengthening. You will notice that your smile is more proportionate, and the symmetry between teeth and gums has improved. Our team and Dr. Patel will be there to answer any questions you might have, both during and after your recovery. We want to ensure that your treatment is successful.
