Ideal for those seeking to improve both the health and aesthetics of their smile, crown lengthening is a versatile procedure that can address various dental concerns. By removing excess gum tissue and exposing hidden portions of the tooth, crown lengthening not only facilitates access for restorative treatments but also enhances the overall symmetry and balance of your smile.
With meticulous care and attention to detail, our team ensures that each crown lengthening treatment is performed with precision and efficiency, typically in under an hour.
The periodontist starts by administering local anesthesia for patient comfort. Dental X-rays follow to assess the tooth’s structure below the gumline. If necessary, thorough dental cleaning is conducted beforehand.
Once prepared, local anesthetic is applied to the gums. Once numbness sets in, the periodontist uses specialized tools like lasers to remove excess gum tissue around the teeth. This exposes more tooth structure, facilitating treatment of underlying dental issues or cosmetic improvements. Crown lengthening surgery usually takes less than an hour and is tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs and aesthetic preferences.
Following your gum contouring surgery, it’s common to experience a degree of sensitivity and discomfort, which usually diminishes within a few days. Over-the-counter pain medication can effectively alleviate any discomfort, while adhering to a modified diet of softer foods promotes optimal healing.
Our dedicated periodontists, including Dr. Lea, will furnish you with comprehensive post-treatment instructions, guiding you through every step of your recovery journey to ensure a seamless and successful outcome.
