Crown lengthening is a dental procedure that involves removing gum tissue, bone, or both to expose more of a tooth’s structure. It is typically performed for restorative or cosmetic reasons. For restorative purposes, it helps provide sufficient tooth structure for a crown or filling. Cosmetically, it can enhance the appearance of a smile by correcting a “gummy” smile, where excessive gum tissue covers the teeth. The procedure involves numbing the area, making precise incisions to reshape the gums and possibly bone, and then suturing the gums back into place. Healing time varies, but it generally takes a few weeks for full recovery. Go through these steps on crown lengtehning with our expert Dr Sucheta Vanjari.
