Is Crown Lengthening for a Less Gummy Smile Right for You?
If you are looking for cosmetic dentistry in the greater Daphne, AL area, you've come to the right place! One of our most popular treatments, crown lengthening, can help you obtain the smile you've always dreamed of.
Crown lengthening is a treatment that can enhance your smile by exposing more of your teeth and less of your gums. This procedure is also effective when treating some periodontic issues. If you do not have enough exposed area of your tooth, your dentist may require that this procedure be completed before adding a crown, for example.
In cosmetic dentistry, the procedure is used to reduce or eliminate what is commonly referred to as a "gummy" smile. Because this is a serious procedure, it is one that should be discussed with your dentist at length. Patients are also able to utilize tools such as 3D technology to see how they will look following the crown lengthening.
There are three different types of crown lengthening:
- Gingivectomy
- Apically repositioned flap surgery
- Surgical extrusion
Our team will determine which approach is right for your situation, and review the details with you. We want you to have a smile that makes you happy and helps you to feel confident and attractive!
