Crown Lengthening

Professional Teeth Lengthening for a Perfectly Shaped Smile

Dream of a brilliant, precisely balanced smile? Our area of expertise at Foundation Implants is precision dental surgery called crown lengthening, which helps improve the appearance and function of your teeth. This sophisticated approach helps restore work, increases the gum-to-tooth ratio, and gives you confidence, giving you the radiant smile you have always wanted.

Understanding Crown Lengthening

A complicated surgical procedure,crown lengthening—also known ascrown elongation orcrown extension surgery—reshapes the gum tissue and, sometimes, the underlying bone to reveal more of your tooth structure. This adaptable therapy primarily fulfills two functions:

• Improving appearance for a balanced, beautiful smile
• Getting teeth ready for restorative procedures like bridges or crowns

Why Choose Teeth Lengthening?

Aesthetic Benefits:

• Corrects a "gummy" smile to provide a more balanced look
• Highlights your teeth naturally, therefore producing a brilliant smile

Functional Benefits:

• Offers enough tooth contact for fillings or crowns
• Avoids possible harm to restorations and gum inflammation

Many individuals decide for teeth lengtheningto solve different dental problems. Typical reasons for excess gum tissue are:

• Genetic factors causing expansion of gum tissue
• Broken teeth under the gumline
• Bad teeth alignment; tooth decay needing treatment under the gum

You could be a candidate for crown lengthening surgeryif you find your teeth seem too small or uneven or if you have a gummy smile where too much gum tissue covers your teeth.

The Crown Lengthening Procedure

Under local anesthetic, we at Foundation Implants perform minimally invasive teeth lengthening. Here’s what to expect:

• Initial examination and, if necessary, imaging
• Methodical excision of extra gum tissue reveals more of the tooth surface.
• Reshaping of bone (if needed) for stability

Our two forms ofcrown elongation treatments are:

• Aesthetic Crown Lengthening:Designed to straighten your whole smile look and repair a gummy smile.
• Functional Crown Lengthening:This gets a tooth ready for restorative treatment like bridges, fillings, or crowns.

Is it uncomfortable to get crown lengthening?

Our first focus at Foundation Implants is your comfort. Thecrown extension surgeryis carried out under local anesthetic, therefore guaranteeing little pain throughout the treatment. Most patients claim little to no pain during the procedure and controllable discomfort after recovery.

How long does it take to recover from crown lengthening?

Usually, with appropriate care, recovery takes one to two weeks. Still, many patients resume their regular activities after a few days. We provide thorough aftercare guidelines to guarantee a seamless and pleasant recovery.

Would crown lengthening help my gummy smile?

Absolutely! By altering the gum line, crown lengthening offers a good way to have a balanced smile. It may dramatically lessen the look of a gummy smile by exposing more of your natural teeth and creating a harmonic, pleasing smile.

Following tooth lengthening surgery, are touch-ups ever necessary?

Although unusual, in certain situations touch-ups might be required. Usually, six months after the first operation, we evaluate the outcomes. Should the tissue recover unevenly, a little touch-up operation may be done. Usually lasting five minutes, this is a short procedure with little to no discomfort.
