Increasing the length of the tooth crown

main page / tooth crown lengthening

Crown lengthening surgery is used in cases where gum lift is not possible. In this section, we explain this method.

The gums in the place where the teeth grow are composed of two parts: free gums and attached gums. The minimum height of the free gum should be 2 mm. If the height of the free gum is more than 2 mm, the gum lift method is used to make the gums symmetrical and improve the smile. If the height of the free gum is not more than 2mm, the gum should be removed surgically and the jaw bone at the place where the teeth grow, then the gum should be removed to the extent necessary to create a beautiful smile and sutured in its previous place. This method is called crown lengthening or crown lanterning.

Increasing the length of the tooth crown is not just a cosmetic procedure. Crown Lentenig is also performed when the tooth has decay in the area under the gums. This surgery is unavoidable to access the caries under the gums.

After crown lengthening surgery, the recovery period is about three weeks. After this time, any other beauty method such as composite veneer or lamination can be used on the teeth.
