Crown Lengthening
Is your smile concealed by too much gum tissue? Our dentists can help you rediscover your beautiful smile by reshaping the gum tissue around your teeth. This process is known as crown lengthening. For more information about the process of crown lengthening in Lebanon, Ohio, you are welcome to contact Family Dentistry, Inc. at 513-932-6991 and schedule a time to meet with Drs. Haas, Haas and Zuptich.
Crown lengthening is a gum treatment that has both functional and aesthetic purposes. We may recommend crown lengthening if your appearance is affected by what is sometimes called a “gummy smile.” A gummy smile is one in which the teeth appear abnormally short because of excessive gum tissue. The gum tissue may appear too bulky, or it might look like the gums come down over your teeth too far. In most cases, a gummy smile is the result of excessive gum tissue covering teeth that are a normal length and shape. To correct this problem and give you a smile you can show off with pride, our dentists may suggest crown lengthening. During this treatment, we will simply remove a small amount of the gum tissue, revealing more of the tooth structure and giving your smile a more aesthetic appearance. This usually requires just one visit to our office.
We may also recommend crown lengthening to make a restorative or cosmetic dental treatment possible. If the tooth is broken below or very close to the gum line, or if insufficient tooth structure is left for a restoration, our dentists may use crown lengthening to expose more of the tooth so a restoration like a crown or bridge can be placed.
