Posted on 4/15/2020 by Cole Anderson, DMD, MS
As dental science and treatment options continue to improve and expand, it is really no wonder that more and more people are taking part in procedures which can not only improve the health of their smiles, but the appearance of them as well. Crown lengthening is a perfect example of these types of procedures, and a number of patients are quick to share their stories with us of the many ways in which it has improved their lives. Here is a little bit more about this procedure and how it may be able to help you as well:
To Improve Your Smile
The biggest reason someone might benefit from a crown lengthening is because they have what is referred to as a gummy smile, meaning that their gums may proceed too far down the crown of the tooth, making it appear much smaller and even stubby. To, in effect, lengthen the crown; our oral health expert will remove excess amounts of gum tissue, resulting in a higher gum line and more exposure of the teeth. This will work to create a fuller smile while giving the teeth a better overall appearance.
To Improve Your Self-Confidence
So much of our self-esteem is tied into our physical appearance, and among that our smile and dental condition is at the top of the list. When someone is uncomfortable with their smile, it can have a devastatingly negative impact on their social life and interaction with others. This is one issue that this type of procedure can greatly help.
