Crown Lengthening
Why Dr Dilmohit Singh
Lumineers and Veneers are often synonymous with each other though there is a difference. Lumineers are thin shells and sections of ceramics that do not require tooth preparation on other hand veneers can either be laboratory made or made directly inside the mouth with composites and usually require preparation and cutting of teeth.
- Purpose of Crown Lengthening:
- Crown lengthening is often performed for cosmetic reasons to improve the appearance of the teeth and smile.
- It may be necessary in cases where patients have a short clinical crown (the part of the tooth that is visible in the mouth) or when the upper front teeth are not adequately exposed during smiling.
- Procedure Overview:
- The procedure typically involves the use of special tools, such as electrocautery, to carefully remove excess gum tissue and, if needed, bone tissue surrounding the tooth.
- By removing excess tissue, more of the natural tooth is exposed, creating a longer and more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
- Indications for Crown Lengthening:
- Short clinical crowns: Patients with short teeth due to genetics or wear may benefit from crown lengthening to reveal more of the tooth’s surface.
- Gummy smile: Crown lengthening can address cases where excessive gum tissue covers a significant portion of the teeth, resulting in a “gummy” smile.
- Cosmetic improvements: Crown lengthening can enhance the overall aesthetics of the smile, giving patients a more confident and attractive appearance.
- Benefits of Crown Lengthening:
- Improved smile: The procedure can lead to a more balanced and visually pleasing smile.
- Enhanced personality: A better smile often contributes to improved self-confidence and personality.
- Consultation and Evaluation:
- Patients interested in crown lengthening should schedule a consultation with Dr. Dilmohit Singh. During this visit, the dentist will assess the patient’s oral health, discuss their goals and expectations, and determine whether crown lengthening is the appropriate treatment.
- Post-Procedure Care:
- Following crown lengthening, patients will receive post-operative care instructions to promote proper healing and minimize discomfort or complications.
- Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential for long-term success and aesthetics.
- Crown lengthening is a valuable cosmetic dentistry procedure that can address various issues related to tooth exposure and gum aesthetics. Patients seeking to enhance their smiles and overall appearance should reach out to Dr. Dilmohit Singh for further information and a personalized evaluation.
