Your journey begins with a thorough examination of your gum tissue, tooth structure, and overall oral health. We carefully assess your needs, whether cosmetic or restorative, while discussing your goals and explaining how crown lengthening or gum contouring can help you achieve them.
We create a detailed plan for your procedure using advanced imaging technology. Our dentist in South Los Angeles will show you exactly what to expect and explain how the treatment will improve either your smile's appearance or support needed dental work.
Whether performing cosmetic gum contouring or crown lengthening for restorations, we use state-of-the-art laser technology and micro surgical instruments. This ensures precise tissue removal with minimal discomfort and promotes rapid healing.
We meticulously refine the gum margins to ensure optimal results, whether for aesthetic enhancement or to prepare for dental restorations. Regular follow-up visits ensure proper healing and long-term success.
From improving a gummy smile to preparing teeth for crowns or veneers, our gum procedures serve both cosmetic and functional purposes. Crown lengthening can create the necessary space for restorations while ensuring a natural, attractive appearance.
Both gum contouring and crown lengthening can make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene by providing better access for cleaning. Crown lengthening also helps ensure proper fit and longevity of dental restorations.
Whether performed for cosmetic or restorative purposes, the results of these procedures are permanent with proper oral care and regular dental maintenance.
While both procedures involve reshaping gum tissue, gum contouring is primarily cosmetic to improve smile appearance. In contrast, crown lengthening exposes more tooth structure to support dental restorations like crowns or bridges.
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, though complete healing takes about 4-6weeks. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
When performed for restorative purposes, crown lengthening is often covered by dental insurance. We'll help you understand your coverage options and discuss payment plans for any non-covered portion.
