Crown lengthening in Cartagena, Colombia

Dental Crown Lengthening

Dental crown lengthening is a periodontal surgical procedure that involves removing or reshaping gum tissue and, in some cases, the surrounding bone to expose more of a tooth's surface. It may be performed for functional reasons, such as making it easier to restore a fractured or severely decayed tooth, or for cosmetic reasons, to address a gummy smile and improve the balance between teeth and gums.

What are the benefits of crown lengthening?

This procedure may make it easier to place a dental crown or restoration, improve access to a damaged area, and, in selected cases, create a more balanced gumline. Treatment depends on how much tissue needs to be reshaped and the patient's periodontal health.

Which specialist performs crown lengthening?

It is generally performed by a periodontist or a dentist trained in periodontal surgery. Before the procedure, the professional evaluates the tooth, gums, and bone to determine whether surgery is appropriate and plan recovery.
