There is now a solution to the gummy smile. A simple procedure, called a crown lengthening can help improve your smile and give you back your confidence, self-esteem, and peace of mind. And the results are instant!. Perhaps your tooth is decayed, broken below the gum line, crown lengthening adjusts the gum and bone level to expose more of the tooth so it can be succesfully restored.
Crown lengthening is also performed for cosmetic reasons. Excessive or bulky gum tissue can be removed to reveal a more natural, esthetic smile. This can be performed for just one tooth, or to your entire gum line to provide a smile makeover.
Whether you have crown lengthening to improve function or esthetics, patients often receive the benefits of both: a beautiful new smile and improved periodontal health. Crown lengthening (or Crown Exposure) is required when your tooth needs a new crown or other restoration. The edge of that restoration is deep below the gum tissue and not accessible. It is also usually too close to the bone or below the bone.
Procedure
The procedure involves adjusting the level of the gum tissue and bone around the tooth in question to create a new gum-to tooth relationship. This allows to reach the edge of the restoration, ensuring a proper fit to the tooth. It should also provide enough tooth structure so the new restoration will not come loose in the future. This allows you to clean the edge of the restoration when you brush and floss to prevent decay and gum disease. The procedure takes approximately one hour.
When the procedure is completed, sutures, and a protective bandage are placed to help secure the new gum-to-tooth relationship. You will need to be seen in one or two weeks to remove the sutures and evaluate your healing.
