What is Crown Lengthening?
When is Crown Lengthening Necessary?
- Tooth Fracture: If a tooth breaks near the gumline, crown lengthening may be required to expose more of the tooth.
- Deep Decay: When decay extends below the gumline, crown lengthening is needed to access and treat the affected area.
- Inadequate Tooth Structure: Sometimes, there isn’t enough tooth visible to support a crown or bridge, and lengthening the crown of the tooth makes placement possible.
How Does Crown Lengthening Work?
- Reshaping the Gum Tissue: The dentist or periodontist makes small incisions in the gum tissue to pull it away from the tooth, exposing the bone and tooth root.
- Bone Reshaping (if necessary): If the bone level needs adjustment, the dentist may remove a small amount of bone to allow for the proper amount of tooth exposure.
- Closing the Gum Tissue: Once the correct amount of the tooth is exposed, the gum tissue is reshaped, sutured, and allowed to heal.
Types of Crown Lengthening
This involves removing or reshaping only the gum tissue around the tooth to expose more of the tooth’s structure. This type is commonly used for cosmetic crown lengthening or minor cases where there’s no need to alter the bone.
In cases where the bone structure needs adjustment, the dentist will reshape both the gum and the bone around the tooth to ensure enough tooth is exposed. This is more common in functional crown lengthening when preparing the tooth for a crown or filling.
Benefits of Crown Lengthening
- Improved Oral Health: Removing excess gum tissue helps in better cleaning, reducing the risk of gum disease.
- Easier Maintenance: Exposed teeth are easier to clean and maintain, promoting long-term oral health.
- Enhanced Smile Appearance: For cosmetic purposes, crown lengthening can dramatically improve the appearance of a smile by making teeth look longer and more proportionate.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-Procedure Instructions:
- Avoid hard or sticky foods for the first few days.
- Stick to soft, easy-to-chew foods like soups, yogurt, and smoothies.
- Practice careful oral hygiene, especially around the surgical site, to avoid infection.
- Use a prescribed mouth rinse to keep the area clean.
Follow-Up Appointments
Your dentist will schedule follow-ups to check how your gums are healing. Stitches are typically removed within a week, but full healing can take up to 12 weeks.
