Crown Lengthening

Smiling man with clear, healthy teeth after professional Crown Lengthening

Overview

Crown Lengthening

The bone is usually removed using a combination of special hand instruments, and rotary instruments. The rotary instruments roughly resemble the drill that is used in cavity treatment. When the dentist is satisfied the teeth have sufficient exposure, the wound will be cleaned with sterile water and the gum tissue will be sutured with small stitches. The dentist will secure the surgical site using an intraoral (periodontal) bandage, which serves to prevent infection. Prescriptions may be provided for pain medication, and a chlorhexidine (antimicrobial) mouth rinse may be given to help reduce any bacteria attempting to re-colonize. The surgical site will be completely healed in approximately two to three months.

I cannot recommend this dental office enough. They have always been so knowledgeable, kind, and want what is best for you. I have never felt like I “needed a second opinion” and they do excellent dental and cosmetic work.
