WHAT IS GUM CONTOURING?

Crown lengthening & gum contouring is a process which is done to lengthen your teeth. This may be needed for various reasons, some of the commonest ones being:

Looks: if you feel your front teeth look too short or more of your gums are visible
For a tooth which requires a cap but the height of the tooth is short, either genetically or because a cavity ate away the tooth. If a cap is given without lengthening in such cases, the cap may not last very long & may keep opening from time to time.

YOU ARE A CANDIDATE FOR CROWN LENGTHENING IF:

1. A previously done crown keeps opening from time to time. This usually happens in the back of the mouth but can happen in the front teeth as well.
2. You feel your front teeth look short and too much of gums are visible while laughing or smiling.

WHAT ARE THE BENFITS OF GUM CONTOURING?

Enhanced Smile Aesthetics: Gum contouring can improve the symmetry and balance of your smile by reshaping uneven or excessive gum tissue. This can make your teeth appear more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing.
Correcting Gummy Smiles: Some people have a "gummy smile" where their gums are overly prominent, making their teeth look smaller. Gum contouring can reduce the amount of gum tissue that is visible when smiling, creating a more harmonious smile.
Improved Oral Health: In some cases, excessive gum tissue can trap bacteria and plaque, increasing the risk of gum disease and decay. By removing excess gum tissue, gum contouring can improve oral hygiene and reduce the risk of dental problems.
Preparation for Restorative Work: Gum contouring may be necessary as part of the preparation for certain restorative dental procedures such as crowns, veneers, or dental implants. Reshaping the gums ensures that the final restorations fit properly and look natural.
Boosted Confidence: Correcting gum imperfections can have a significant impact on self-confidence and self-esteem. Many people feel more confident and attractive after undergoing gum contouring and achieving a more appealing smile.

DOES CROWN LENGTHENING HURT?

No. Like all dental procedures it is done under local Anesthesia. Post crown lengthening most people don’t feel pain beyond 1-2 days, which is manageable by painkillers.

HOW MANY APPOINTMENTS DOES CROWN LENGTHENING TAKE?

Crown lengthening is usually a 1 visit process. You do receive very thin stitches after it but they do not hurt
