Restorative Dentistry: Understanding Crown Lengthening and Its Benefits





Restorative dentistry plays a crucial role in enhancing both the function and aesthetics of your smile. One important procedure within this field is crown lengthening, a technique that can address various dental concerns. At Aidencare Dental Clinic, we pride ourselves on our multidisciplinary approach to crown lengthening, combining the expertise of prosthodontics, periodontics, and aesthetic dentistry. Led by Dr. Sum, a highly qualified aesthetic ortho-restorative specialist, we ensure that patients receive comprehensive and tailored care.



What is Crown Lengthening?


Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping the gum tissue and, in some cases, underlying bone to expose more of a tooth’s structure. This procedure is often recommended for several reasons:


  • Restoration Preparation: When a tooth is severely decayed or broken below the gum line, crown lengthening can create a more accessible area for a dental crown or other restorative work.


  • Aesthetic Improvement: For patients with a “gummy smile,” where excessive gum tissue covers the teeth, crown lengthening can enhance the smile’s appearance by revealing more of the tooth structure.


  • Functional Enhancement: In some cases, crown lengthening can improve the overall function of the teeth, allowing for better alignment and bite.



A Multidisciplinary Approach


Crown lengthening is not a standalone procedure; it requires a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach that integrates various dental specialties:


  • Prosthodontics: This area focuses on restoring and replacing teeth. Prosthodontists evaluate the need for crowns or bridges and work closely with the periodontist to ensure that the foundation is appropriate for successful restoration.


  • Periodontics: Periodontists specialize in the health of the gums and supporting structures. They perform the surgical aspect of crown lengthening, ensuring that the procedure is executed safely and effectively.


  • Aesthetic Dentistry: This specialty emphasizes the visual aspects of dental care. Aesthetic dentists take into account the overall appearance of the smile, ensuring that the results of crown lengthening are harmonious and pleasing.
