Clinical crown lengthening

An increasingly common concern among our patients is dissatisfaction with their gummy smile. To address this issue, our dentists perform crown lengthening surgery.

Surgical crown lengthening is the process of creating a new gum contour by trimming the gum tissue and bone.

Surgical crown lengthening is recommended for the following conditions:

Aesthetic

1. Gummy smile.
2. Asymmetrical tooth zeniths (gum contours).
3. Inadequate tooth eruption.

Clinical

1. Cavities on the tooth crown below the gum line.
2. Traumatic damage to the tooth crown below the gum line.

Before performing this procedure, the surgeon carefully examines the CT scan and 3D dental scan to plan the precise volume of gum tissue and bone to be removed for optimal results. All anatomical features are taken into account to avoid contraindications, such as a short tooth root.

Crown lengthening is a complex surgical procedure, making the choice of a professional dental clinic critical. A small error can compromise tooth stability or result in an aesthetic defect. At Masych Clinic, our experienced surgeon will bring your dream smile to life.
