Crown lengthening Periodontal treatment
Crown lengthening removes gum, and often a small amount of bone, to expose more of a tooth. It is done so a dentist can place a crown on a broken or short tooth, or to correct a gummy smile. Healing takes several weeks before a final crown.
Why is crown lengthening done?
A crown needs healthy tooth structure above the bone. When a tooth breaks at the gumline, the periodontist moves gum and bone back to restore that space. For a gummy smile, the gum is reshaped so the teeth show their full length.
Questions
Does crown lengthening hurt?
The area is numbed. Mild soreness for a few days is common.
