Description
Crown lengthening can remove excess gum tissue to reveal more of your teeth for a bigger, brighter smile. With our dental lasers and proper preoperative and postoperative care, this procedure becomes easy and painless for the patient. We can even combine your crown lengthening procedure with other cosmetic work, like crowns or veneers, for a more comprehensive result.

A lot of patients come in to see us
with very short, boxy,
00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:09.867
square-looking teeth,
and we want to see the full natural length
00:00:09.934 --> 00:00:13.680
of the tooth exposed
for a really aesthetic smile.
00:00:14.833 --> 00:00:18.600
In these cases,
we treat them with gum contouring
00:00:18.667 --> 00:00:20.480
or aesthetic crown lengthening.
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:26.100
This is a procedure where we are able
to scalp normal gum
00:00:26.167 --> 00:00:29.700
and expose full size of the tooth.
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.300
In this case, you really see
an amazing transformation,
00:00:33.367 --> 00:00:35.653
especially for young,
healthy individuals.
00:00:35.720 --> 00:00:38.315
There's a lot of misconception
about gum contouring
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:41.267
and aesthetic crown lengthening
that it's painful,
00:00:41.349 --> 00:00:43.267
but some of the techniques that we use,
00:00:43.334 --> 00:00:48.493
like laser and preoperative
and postoperative care for the patient,
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.200
that really makes it easy.
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:55.360
During gum contouring,
we expose the natural size of the tooth,
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.533
and whatever nature
actually meant for you to smile with,
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.090
that's what you're going to see
as a final result.
00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:06.100
Gum contouring can also be combined
with other cosmetic procedures
00:01:06.167 --> 00:01:10.700
like veneers or crowns
for even better aesthetic outcome.
