What Is Crown Lengthening?
Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that removes excess gum tissue and sometimes bone to expose more of the tooth. It doesn’t actually lengthen the tooth but lowers the gum line, giving the dentist more tooth structure to work with for restorations or improving the appearance of a “gummy” smile.
What To Expect From Crown Lengthening Procedure?
During the procedure, the area around the tooth is numbed, and the excess gum tissue and bone are carefully removed. The gums are then reshaped to create a natural and healthy look. Recovery involves following care instructions to ensure proper healing, and most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
