During a dental crown lengthening procedure, a periodontist will remove gum tissue to expose more of the crown.
– The procedure is used to resolve a gummy smile or for dental restoration treatment on your teeth; your dentist will advise if you need it.
– It involves a straightforward technique performed under local anaesthesia.
– Any pain experienced afterwards can be managed with over-the-counter medication.
“Only infinitesimal amounts of gum tissue are removed during the procedure, and while the full recovery time will take approximately two weeks, you should be able to return to work and any normal activities the day after the procedure.”
