Gum surgery to lengthen the tooth crown

Gum surgery to lengthen the tooth crown is a popular technique in dentistry today, acting as a prerequisite for other dental techniques. Gum surgery to lengthen the tooth crown is a technique to adjust the gum tissue and bone to expose more of the tooth crown while still looking natural. This method is usually performed on one tooth to bring harmony to the gum line or can be performed on many different teeth to bring a perfect smile to the customer.

Suitable cases for tooth lengthening

Crown lengthening surgery is usually reserved for people who:

– Gummy smile: people with gummy smiles often have teeth that are too short or teeth covered by gums that are too long. This makes the smile less attractive, requiring surgical intervention to lengthen the teeth to create a more harmonious tooth and gum ratio.

– Uneven gum lines make the teeth look unbalanced, making the smile less aesthetically pleasing.

– In cases where the customer needs a crown or a bridge but the remaining tooth stump is not strong enough to support the restoration. At this time, surgery is needed so that the doctor can access enough of the tooth body to support a crown and bridge.

– Customers have tooth decay but deep under the gum, need to cut the gum to open more, convenient for treatment and filling.
