Cosmetic Crown Lengthening
A symmetrical smile makes a great first impression and provides a big boost in self-confidence. When a “gummy” smile is present, however, many patients are embarrassed about how short their teeth appear or how much gum tissue shows when they smile. Having excessive gum tissue along the crown line not only shortens the look of the teeth, but increases the risk of bacteria developing below the gum line. We can reverse the look of this “gummy” appearance and restore any damaged or decayed teeth by performing a crown lengthening procedure.
Crown lengthening procedures can provide functional benefits as well as aesthetic appeal. The treatment works to gently reshape an uneven gum line and remove excess gum tissue from around the teeth to effectively “lengthen” the appearance of the teeth. This helps lower the risk for bacteria building up that may eventually lead to gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease. Dr. Constance offers minimally invasive laser treatment to improve accuracy in targeting this bacteria buildup and to promote a faster healing time and increase your level of comfort both during and after the procedure. You will enjoy immediate cosmetic results, improved oral health, and a reason to once again smile with confidence!
