Enhance Your Smile with Crown Lengthening at White Plains Family Dental Arts
Do you have a tooth that is too short or has been compromised due to fracture or decay? Are you in need of a crown, but your tooth lacks the surface area to support it? Look no further than crown lengthening at White Plains Family Dental Arts!
What is Crown Lengthening?
Crown lengthening is a simple surgical procedure that removes some of the gum tissue to expose more of the tooth, providing a solid foundation for a restorative crown. This procedure can be done on one or several teeth to enhance the appearance of your smile and improve the functionality of your teeth.
What to Expect During the Procedure?
Before the procedure, your dentist will likely create a temporary crown as you wait for the final restoration. During the procedure, your periodontal specialist will apply a numbing anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Your gums will then be recontoured in a way that is aesthetically pleasing and provides enough surface area for the final crown to be anchored.
After the procedure, you may experience some minor discomfort and swelling, but this will subside in a short period. You can return to work and eating right away, but it’s important to avoid certain foods and beverages that may deteriorate your healing process, such as alcohol and smoking.
