Dental Crown Lengthening for Improved Aesthetics and Function
What Is Crown Lengthening?
Dentist Colorado Springs
Crown lengthening is a dental procedure designed to improve both the appearance and functionality of your teeth by removing excess gum tissue. This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals with a “gummy” smile, where the gums cover too much of the tooth structure, making the teeth appear shorter or less balanced. Additionally, crown lengthening can be necessary for patients who require better access to their tooth structure for dental repairs, such as treating decayed or broken teeth.
During the procedure, Dr. Nichole Anderson carefully repositions the gums and, if necessary, smooths the underlying bone to expose more of the tooth. This not only results in a more balanced smile but also helps improve dental function, especially for restorative treatments like crowns. Crown lengthening enhances both the aesthetic appeal and health of your smile, addressing both cosmetic and functional needs.
