What Is Crown Lengthening?
Sometimes, achieving a healthier, more attractive smile means making adjustments to the gums. A crown lengthening procedure at Kaceli Dental Aesthetics reshapes gum tissue to uncover more of the tooth's surface, improving oral health and enhancing appearance. Dr. Monika Kaceli and our team perform this surgical procedure to expose more of the tooth structure, often making it possible to place a crown or improve the aesthetics of a gummy smile. Whether it's done for functional or cosmetic reasons, the procedure ensures the teeth and gums work in harmony. To learn how this procedure can help you, schedule a consultation with our Newton Centre, MA practice today.
How Does Crown Lengthening Work?
The crown lengthening procedure begins with numbing the treatment area to ensure comfort. Dr. Kaceli then carefully removes excess gum tissue and, in some cases, bone to expose more of the tooth. The process can involve one or more teeth, depending on the treatment goals. For those undergoing this procedure to prepare for a dental crown, the extra tooth surface allows for a secure crown placement. The treatment also makes it easier to clean areas that were previously hidden beneath the gumline, reducing the risk of future decay. The entire procedure typically takes 1 – 2 hours, depending on the case.
What Are the Benefits of Crown Lengthening?
Crown lengthening at Kaceli Dental Aesthetics is an oral treatment that supplies a number of benefits for those in Newton Centre, MA, including:
- Treating dental cavities or tooth fractures that extend below the gumline
- Enhancing total oral hygiene by permitting simpler maintenance of gums and teeth
- Making a more uniform gumline for an improved smile
- Fixing issues of gummy smiles by minimizing excessive gumline tissue
- Bettering the appearance of teeth by uncovering additional tooth framework
- Offering improved access to restorative treatments, like bridges or dental crowns
- Enhancing the long life of dental restorations by offering a stable foundation
