In this procedure, dental surgeons perform dental crown lengthening by recontouring gum tissue and sometimes bone to expose more of a tooth’s surface. The dentist decides to do crown lengthening either for cosmetic purposes, so they use a specialized instrument to reshape the patient’s gum until all teeth are symmetrically pleasing or to adjust the tooth’s bone level so that the visible portion of the tooth can be extended enough to allow the new restoration have enough surface to be held in place.
Cosmetic crown lengthening is a common procedure that can be performed under a local anesthetic or if the patient prefers, they can request sedation, and often takes less than an hour to complete.

A long-term anesthetic is used throughout the dental crown lengthening process to keep the pain minimal. Moreover, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) without aspirin may be prescribed for the patient to minimize the pain at home. To prevent needless discomfort, it’s critical to take medications correctly and per written instructions.
During the healing process, patients are recommended to eat bland, soft, readily digestible foods. Patients are instructed to chew on the side of their mouth that is opposite the surgery area. Patients are also encouraged to avoid alcohol and smoking in addition to following these rules because smoking and alcohol can contribute to prolonged bleeding and slow recovery.
After crown lengthening, it is crucial to practice good dental hygiene. Patients should wipe their entire mouths after meals and snacks. Patients must use a soft bristle brush, taking care not to brush the surgery site. An antibacterial mouthwash is also often prescribed for use in the cleansing process. Additionally, you should keep cleaning your healthy teeth.
Furthermore, The patient will be informed of any additional instructions and follow-up appointments at the time of operation.
