What is Esthetic Crown Lengthening?
Esthetic crown lengthening, also known as cosmetic gum contouring or gummy smile surgery, is a specialized periodontal plastic surgery procedure designed to reshape the gum line and reveal more of your natural tooth structure. By carefully removing excess gum and sometimes a small amount of bone tissue, we create a more harmonious and symmetrical smile.
This procedure is an ideal solution for individuals who:
- Have a "gummy smile": When an excess amount of gum tissue shows when you smile, making your teeth appear shorter than they are.
- Feel their teeth look too short: Crown lengthening elongates the appearance of your teeth, bringing your smile into beautiful proportion.
- Need to prepare for restorative dentistry: It creates the necessary space for treatments like dental crowns or porcelain veneers, ensuring a secure fit and natural-looking result.
The Benefits of a Balanced Smile
Choosing esthetic crown lengthening at our Los Angeles dental office provides more than just a cosmetic enhancement; it contributes to your overall oral health and confidence. The advantages are clear:
- Enhanced Smile Symmetry: Achieve a beautifully proportioned smile where your teeth are the main focus, not your gums.
- A Balanced Gum Line: We sculpt your gums to create an even, scalloped frame around each tooth for a more attractive appearance.
- Enables Perfect Restorations: Provides the solid foundation needed for durable and long-lasting crowns and veneers.
- Improved Oral Health: Reducing excess gum tissue makes it easier to brush and floss effectively, which can lower your risk of plaque buildup and gum disease.
