What Is Crown Lengthening?
Dentist Davenport
Crown lengthening is a dental procedure designed to improve both the aesthetics and function of your teeth by removing excess gum tissue. This treatment is often recommended for individuals with a “gummy” smile or those needing enhanced access for dental repairs, such as treating decayed or broken teeth. The procedure involves repositioning the gums and, if needed, smoothing the underlying bone to expose more of the tooth structure above the gumline. This results in a more balanced tooth appearance and helps address functional issues related to the gums.
Benefits of Crown Lengthening
Enhanced Aesthetics
By removing excess gum tissue, crown lengthening creates a more balanced and proportionate smile, reducing the prominence of the gums and making the teeth appear longer.
Improved Functionality
The procedure allows better access to the tooth structure for restorative work, such as treating decay or damage, and can also aid in addressing gum infections.
Increased Tooth Structure
Visibility
Exposing more of the tooth structure provides a more secure foundation for dental crowns, fillings, and other restorations, leading to better long-term dental health.
