Dental Crown Lengthening

Delivering world class Dental care

Dental crown lengthening is a procedure used to expose more of the tooth structure above the gum line, making it possible to place a dental crown, bridge or a filling. This procedure is typically done when there is not enough tooth structure remaining above the gum line to support a dental restoration.
The process of dental crown lengthening typically involves the following steps:
Anesthesia

The gums are numbed using a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

Gum Tissue Removal

The dentist or periodontist will use specialized instruments to remove a small amount of gum tissue and bone, exposing more of the tooth structure.

Reshaping Of The Bone

In some cases, the dentist or periodontist may need to reshape the bone surrounding the tooth to create a stable foundation for the dental restoration.

Suture Placement

The gums are then sutured to promote healing.

Temporization

A temporary dental restoration will be placed over the tooth to protect it while the gums heal.

Placement Of The Final Restoration

After healing, the patient will return to the dentist to have the final restoration placed.

The procedure is usually done in one or more visits to the dentist, and the recovery time is usually short, but it can take several weeks for the gums to heal completely. It is important to note that dental crown lengthening is a surgical procedure and it should be done by a qualified dental professional, who will determine if the procedure is necessary and suitable for the specific case, and provide the patient with detailed post-operative instructions to aid in the healing process.
