Crown Lengthening

Crown Lengthening: A Solution for Perfect Crown Fit

Crown lengthening is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves surgically removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth structure, ensuring a crown restoration fits properly. By creating a more suitable tooth surface, this procedure allows the crown to securely fit, restoring both the tooth’s functionality and aesthetics. In some cases, part of the alveolar bone may need to be removed to expose more tooth surface for a better crown fit.

Crown Lengthening Suitability

Crown lengthening is ideal for cases that involve insufficient crown length due to root fractures, perforations, gum infections, root decay or damage, or fractures. This procedure is essential for patients who require a solid foundation for crown restorations.

However, crown lengthening may not be suitable for patients with poor oral hygiene, gum infections, thin gum tissue, or those with long crowns on their front teeth. Additionally, teeth that cannot be restored after surgery, insufficient root length, or molars at risk of root exposure after treatment are not recommended for this procedure. Lifestyle factors such as smoking can increase the risk of complications and oral diseases and are taken into account when determining the suitability of the treatment.

At Transmitter Health, we ensure that all our treatments are performed with professional care and attention to detail in cooperation with internationally accredited hospitals.
