CROWN LENGTHENING FOR FUNCTIONAL & COSMETIC ENHANCEMENTS
At Gloss Dental, we offer crown lengthening to improve both dental health and aesthetics. Whether you need additional tooth structure for a restoration like a crown or filling or want to enhance your smile by reducing excess gum tissue, our skilled team ensures a precise and comfortable experience.
FUNCTIONAL CROWN LENGTHENING: CREATING A HEALTHIER FOUNDATION
Sometimes, a tooth doesn’t have enough exposed structure to properly support a crown, filling, or other dental restoration. Crown lengtheninghelps by:
Removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth
Making space for a secure and long-lasting restoration
Preventing future complications with deep cavities or fractures below the gum line
How It Works:
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and we carefully reshape the gum and, if necessary, a small portion of bone around the tooth. This allows your restoration to fit securely and comfortably while maintaining gum health.
COSMETIC CROWN LENGTHENING: ENHANCING YOUR SMILE
If you feel your teeth look short or uneven due to excess gum tissue, crown lengthening can create a more balanced and symmetrical smile by:
Reducing a “gummy smile”
Exposing more natural tooth structure
Creating an even gum line for a more aesthetic appearance
What to Expect:
Crown lengthening is a straightforward and minimally invasive procedure. Healing typically takes a few days, and most patients return to their normal routine shortly after treatment.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS CROWN LENGTHENING PAINFUL?
No, the procedure is performed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Any mild soreness afterward can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAL?
Most patients heal within a week or two, though full gum tissue stabilization may take a bit longer.
WILL MY TEETH LOOK LONGER AFTER CROWN LENGTHENING?
Yes! The procedure removes excess gum tissue, exposing more of your natural tooth for a brighter, more balanced smile.
IS THIS PROCEDURE ONLY FOR COSMETIC REASONS?
Not at all! Crown lengthening is often necessary for restorative dental treatments to ensure a strong and healthy foundation.
