Crown lengthening is designed to help increase the natural surface of the tooth. This is usually carried out in conjunction with another treatment and can be deemed necessary for the successful application of a bridge or implant. It can also be used to help address a so-called ‘gummy’ smile.
‘Gummy’ smiles relate to teeth that appear smaller than is usual, resulting in more gum being on display when we smile. If this is something you are concerned by, then crown lengthening can help treat a ‘gummy’ smile, and help reveal a more even, happier smile.
Crown lengthening requires great skill and we’re very proud here at SnapeHill Dental Studio and Implant Centre to be able to offer this treatment to those patients who need it. We will administer local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t experience any discomfort, and for anyone who feels particularly nervous, we can also offer sedation.
