Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening is an oral surgery that helps to expose more of your teeth’ structure above the gums. The procedure is done mainly for two reasons- for cosmetic reasons like curing gummy smiles and restorative purposes so that teeth can grip dental equipment like crowns, bridges, etc., better. The procedure involves reducing the gum tissues and shaving down the bone, as required, for greater tooth exposure. We at Dental Specialists of Pembroke Pines have experienced dental surgeons who will analyze your tooth proportions and let you know if you need to undergo this procedure. Visit our dental office in Pembroke Pines, FL, if you want to cure your gummy smile issues and make your smile look perfect.
Why go for crown lengthening?
There are three primary reasons for which dentists and oral surgeons might recommend you undergo the crown lengthening procedure:
- It cures gummy smile issues.
- It exposes the cavity that might be present deep underneath the gum line.
- It helps to expose the fractured areas of your teeth.
- It exposes more teeth structure so that different dental equipment like bridges and crowns can fit on it perfectly.
People with gummy smiles have more than 3mm of exposed gums. The crown lengthening reduces the gum tissues and exposes more visible tooth structures. Depending on your smile goals or the upcoming restorative procedure and the conditions of your teeth, your dentist might suggest crown lengthening for your teeth. This is a minor surgery and will be performed under local anesthesia, which means you will not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. The recovery period is quick, too, provided that you follow all the advice given by your dentist.
