Crown Lengthening

Transform Your Smile with Crown Lengthening

What is crown lengthening?

Crown lengthening is a dental treatment that involves remodeling the gum line to increase the visible surface area of the tooth.

Crown lengthening is a technique that can be used to improve both the health and aesthetics of the mouth.

Firstly, it is used as a complement to another procedure. For example, when the patient has a fracture or a very deep cavity that exceeds the edge of the gum. In this case, it will be necessary to slightly raise the gingival margin so that the dentist can access the damaged surface and repair it.

Secondly, crown lengthening is used to correct a gummy smile, as well as to perfect the edges of gums that are irregular or too low, which, as a consequence, reveal little of the dental surface, making the teeth appear very small.

Procedure

1. Case study

At Abaden Dentistas, we analyze and discuss all cases through our own clinical case platform.

2. Crown Lengthening

The treatment is performed with local anesthesia, so you will not feel anything during the procedure.

3. Post-Treatment Monitoring

It is necessary to monitor the condition of the gums after performing crown lengthening.

Clinical cases

"I recommend the treatment to everyone who, like me, shows a lot of gum when smiling. The operation is painless and Abaden is fast. Now I can brush my teeth better and the change is noticeable."

How long does it take to perform crown lengthening?

Crown lengthening surgery is characterized by being relatively quick. Its duration depends, fundamentally, on the number of teeth that need to be treated.

However, in the vast majority of cases, crown lengthening takes less than an hour to perform.

What is the recovery like after crown lengthening?

Since crown lengthening surgery is characterized by being minimally invasive, its recovery is also very quick. As we have mentioned, it barely hurts or causes discomfort.

Even so, it is common for the dentist to prescribe anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications to prevent pain and swelling. In addition, the patient will have to eat a soft diet and be very careful with oral hygiene to prevent infections from appearing.

Generally, the stitches in the treated area are removed one week later, when the patient comes in for a check-up.

Advantages of crown lengthening?

The main advantages of crown lengthening are the following:

Since it is a minor surgery, it has a very quick recovery with little discomfort.

Frequently asked questions

In which cases is crown lengthening recommended?

Crown lengthening is indicated when we need to restore a tooth that has lost structure due to a large fracture or cavity. This restoration can be carried out using a classic filling or with the placement of a crown. In addition, the treatment is recommended in patients who have a high lip line. That is, when they expose a large amount of gum.

Is crown lengthening painful?

Crown lengthening is performed with local anesthesia, so the patient does not feel pain during the treatment. In addition, Abaden is one of the pioneering dental centers in the use of conscious sedation for all types of treatments. This technique (carried out by our anesthesiologists) induces patients to a state of relaxation similar to sleep. Therefore, they barely “notice” the intervention.

What can you eat after crown lengthening?

In the days following the surgery, the patient should follow a soft and cold diet. This is due to two reasons. On the one hand, the soft diet will prevent the person from having to strain during chewing. On the other hand, cold foods will help keep the treated area calm and prevent it from becoming irritated. Some of the most recommended foods after crown lengthening are the following: scrambled or boiled eggs, fish, turkey cold cuts, cold creams, cottage cheese, yogurt, juice, etc.

What is the price of crown lengthening?

Crown lengthening is a treatment that can be performed on one or more teeth. Therefore, the price will vary depending on the extent of the surgery. As a guide, we can say that the price of crown lengthening usually ranges between 150 and 300 euros.

Excellent attention. They are very good professionals. I am going to have orthodontic treatment with them. I think everything is great and very well explained. Thank you very much, also any problem that arises, they provide a solution as soon as possible, resolve all my doubts and the orthodontics is going great.

We have been clients since 2019 and I must say that we have found an honest, friendly, disciplined, coherent team, with attention to each case as if we were family. The price, work and subsequent follow-up means that you never have subsequent problems. Without fear of suspicious closures because it has a trajectory of many years and is a company that its customer service makes you feel safe.

I had my first visit with them on the recommendation of a friend and I couldn't be more satisfied. I don't like going to the dentist because it generates a lot of respect for me, but I have to say that Leonor and the rest of the professionals have made it very easy. They have explained all the processes step by step, making me feel very informed at all times.

I have already come several times. Now I have had implants placed. I am one of those who panic at the dentist, so I always take sedation. It is wonderful, you don't notice anything. I was attended at reception by Lorena Valerio, very friendly and attentive. Dr. Alex Manzano and Dras. Carlota de España and Ana Martínez very attentive all, very close and as I said I have not noticed anything. I am very happy. Thank you, guys. M. Carmen

The treatment is cordial, the facilities are clean and modern (as is the equipment used) and the professionals focus a lot on the patient and their comfort. In my particular case, I had to have a cleaning and a root canal, both procedures have been painless and the results excellent.

My experience with this clinic is excellent. The treatment with their patients is very friendly. They explain everything in detail, they get involved in each case in a particular way. Great professionalism. The material and technology they use is very good. I feel safe with them. After having been in other clinics, this is definitely the best. Top!!!!
