Crown lengthening

Crown lengthening is sometimes done to improve a “gummy” smile because the teeth appear short even though the teeth may be of proper length. Crown lengthening may be used to remove excess gum and bone tissue is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth.

- The upper lip will be less distended after the surgery.

- In the case that the bone extrude too much and obstruct the insertion of removable denture, then before arranging the denture, excess bone tissue should be removed to avoid pressing of denture.

The surgery of gum bone is not really scary.

• It is only a small surgery that the patients may not feel pain as anesthetic is used when the surgery is done.

• After surgery, the pain is minimum and in some cases the patients just do not feel

any pain.

• The wound after the surgery is very small. The patients can speak or smile normally.

Resting is not required after the surgery.

• The change will change your personality. You will be able to smile confidently. Some

people may not feel confident enough after completion of orthodontic but

gum surgery can make them confident with their perfect smile.
