What is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening procedure in Mumbai is an easy and fast treatment method that can make a significant difference to your smile. There are two reasons to seek crown lengthening treatment:

This process is also done for excessive gingival display or known as gummy smile. This can be done on a single tooth or multiple teeth.

Why do you need Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening procedure is done for the array of dental problems. It is a useful treatment procedure done for restorative and sometimes cosmetic purposes; some top reasons why your periodontist in Mumbai is recommending crown lengthening treatment in Mumbai are:

• Cosmetic gum re-contouring: A gummy smile is the main reason behind it. In it, the excessive gum tissue display happens while smiling. Basically, only the short part of the tooth or teeth is visible and it happens because excessive gum tissue covers the visible part of the tooth crown, especially in upper teeth. Crown lengthening procedure in Mumbai helps in exposing more of the visible part of the tooth, while minimize the vertical length of the gum tissue giving you a perfect and symmetrical smile without overly displayed gums.
• Repair of teeth: For teeth or tooth that are broken, or chipped below the gumline, crown lengthening procedure becomes a necessary. Using this procedure the dentist can expose more teeth and have the space to attach and anchor the crown on the tooth. The crown is the cap that is fitted on the tooth to restore its shape and function.
