Achieving the perfect balance of gum and tooth exposure can enhance your smile’s aesthetics and overall oral health. Crown lengthening is a versatile dental procedure that addresses both cosmetic and functional concerns by reshaping the gum tissue to reveal more of the tooth structure. Dr. Anuradha Beri, Dr. Ramneek Kaur and Dr. Pawneet Khangura offer crown lengthening to help patients achieve a more balanced smile and prepare their teeth for necessary dental restorations.
Crown lengthening is particularly beneficial for those with a “gummy smile,” where excessive gum tissue covers more of the teeth than desired, making them appear shorter. By carefully removing and reshaping this excess tissue, we can expose more of your natural teeth, enhancing your smile’s appearance. This procedure not only improves aesthetics but also makes it easier for you to maintain proper oral hygiene, as reducing excess gum tissue can minimize areas where plaque and bacteria might accumulate.
Beyond aesthetic improvements, crown lengthening is also crucial for certain restorative dental procedures. If you have a tooth that has broken near or below the gum line, or if decay extends too far under the gums, crown lengthening can provide the necessary access to effectively place a crown or other restoration. By exposing more of the tooth, our team can ensure that your restoration is secure and long-lasting.
