Dental Crown Lengthening
We provide the best world-class treatment, service and care for all our patients.
Dental Crown Lengthening
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.
