Aesthetic crown lengthening is an oral surgery procedure that can enhance the health and appearance of your smile. A more precise term is crown exposure because gum tissue is excised to show more of the enamel. You may want crown lengthening for aesthetic reasons if you'd like to improve a "gummy" smile.
What Are the Benefits of Aesthetic Crown Lengthening?
- Enhancing the look of teeth by revealing additional tooth framework
- Providing improved access for restorative treatments such as dental bridges or dental crowns
- Fixing instances of gummy smiles by reducing extra gum tissue
- Improving comprehensive oral health by allowing simpler cleaning of gums and teeth
- Caring for cavities or fractures that happen under the gums
- Expanding the long life of dental restorations by creating a stable base
- Making a more symmetrical and balanced gum line for an enhanced smile
- Enhancing self-confidence and self-esteem with more appealing teeth
How Does Crown Lengthening Work?
Before the crown lengthening procedure, local anesthesia is applied to the needed regions. The gum tissue is removed in small slivers to slowly show more of your enamel, and then your gumline will be sculpted for an even look. After your crown lengthening treatment, your mouth could be sore and swollen. Cold compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers can usually be utilized.
