Crown Lengthening in Penrith

smiling person with beautiful teethAt Smith Street Dental, we believe every smile deserves to shine. If excessive gum tissue or a “gummy smile” is concealing the full beauty of your teeth, our crown lengthening procedure can help reveal more of your radiant smile.

Understanding the Need for Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening, also known as functional crown lengthening or gum contouring, is a surgical procedure to remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line. This process serves two primary purposes:
  • Aesthetic Enhancement: By sculpting the gums and exposing more of the tooth’s surface, crown lengthening creates a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing smile, reducing the appearance of a “gummy smile.”
  • Functional Restoration: In some cases, crown lengthening may be necessary to expose more of the tooth’s structure, allowing for proper placement of crowns, bridges, or other restorative treatments.

Our Approach to the Crown Lengthening Process

Our experienced dental team, led by Dr Reza Nikfar, ensures your crown lengthening procedure is precise, comfortable, and tailored to your unique needs. Our four-step process includes

  • Consultation: we evaluate your smile and discuss your goals, ensuring crown lengthening is the right solution for you
  • Treatment Planning: your procedure is carefully planned using advanced imaging techniques to achieve optimal aesthetic and functional results
  • Procedure: using state-of-the-art laser technology or special instruments, we gently reshape the gum line and remove excess tissue, revealing more of your tooth’s structure
  • Healing: after the procedure, we provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery

In many cases, crown lengthening can be completed in a single visit, allowing you to immediately enjoy your refreshed, more proportionate smile.
