Crown Lengthening

At DENTL in East Melbourne, we’re all about helping your smile shine its brightest.
Crown lengthening is a game-changer for anyone looking to balance their gum-to-tooth ratio or prepare a tooth for a stunning restoration. Whether you’re dealing with a gummy smile or need to make room for a crown, our skilled team is here to guide you through the process with precision and care.

What Is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening is like unwrapping the full potential of your teeth. This procedure involves carefully reshaping the gum tissue—and sometimes the bone—around your teeth to expose more of the tooth’s surface. It’s perfect for creating a more balanced smile or preparing a tooth for a crown, bridge, or filling.

  • Aesthetic Crown Lengthening: If you feel like your smile is more gums than teeth, crown lengthening can reveal more of your pearly whites, giving you a balanced, harmonious smile. This small change can make a world of a difference in how you look and feel.
  • Functional Crown Lengthening: Sometimes, a tooth needs a little extra space for a crown or filling to fit snugly. Crown lengthening provides that space, ensuring your restoration is secure and long-lasting.

At DENTL, we make sure the process is as smooth and comfortable as possible, tailored just for you.

Benefits of Crown Lengthening

Why crown lengthening? Because your smile deserves it!

  • Enhanced Smile Aesthetics: Crown lengthening can dramatically improve your smile by creating a better balance between your gums and teeth. It’s a fantastic solution for reducing a gummy smile and showing off more of your beautiful teeth.
  • Stronger Restorations: Need a crown or filling? Crown lengthening gives your tooth the structure it needs for a secure, lasting fit. It’s all about making sure your dental work looks great and stands the test of time.
  • Better Oral Health: By exposing more of your tooth, crown lengthening can make it easier to keep your teeth and gums clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.

With crown lengthening, you’re not just perfecting your smile—you’re boosting your oral health, too.

The Step-by-Step Process

Our process is designed to make your crown lengthening experience a breeze.

1.

Initial Consultation: It all starts with a chat. At our Fitzroy clinic we’ll assess your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to see if crown lengthening is the right move for you. We’ll also talk about your goals and what you hope to achieve.

2.

Treatment Planning: Once we’ve got a plan, we’ll walk you through it. We’ll explain the procedure step by step, so you know exactly what to expect. No surprises, just results.

3.

Preparation: On the day of your procedure, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable and relaxed. We’ll use local anaesthetic to numb the area, and if you’re feeling a bit nervous, we can discuss sedation options to keep you calm and comfortable.

4.

Crown Lengthening Procedure: Our skilled team will gently reshape the gum tissue and, if necessary, the bone around your teeth to reveal more of your tooth structure. The procedure is precise, tailored to achieve the best possible outcome for your smile.

5.

Post-Treatment Care: After your crown lengthening, we’ll give you all the tips and tricks you need to heal quickly and comfortably. We’ll also schedule follow-up visits in East Melbourne to check your progress and make any necessary adjustments.

From start to finish, we’re here to make sure your crown lengthening journey is smooth, successful, and stress-free.

Who Is Crown Lengthening Best
Suited For?

Crown lengthening could be your perfect match if you:

  • Want to reduce a gummy smile and let your teeth take centre stage.
  • Need to prepare a tooth for a crown or other restoration that requires more exposed tooth structure.
  • Are looking for a way to enhance both the appearance and function of your smile. 

If any of these sound like you, crown lengthening at DENTL might be just what you need.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What exactly is crown lengthening, and why might I need it?

Crown lengthening is like giving your smile a little extra room to shine! This procedure reshapes your gum tissue to improve gum health, prepare a tooth for restoration, or give you that perfect balance if you’re dealing with a “gummy smile.” It’s all about making sure your teeth get the spotlight they deserve.

Is crown lengthening more about looks, or does it have other benefits?

It’s a double win! Crown lengthening isn’t just about aesthetics—though it does wonders for a gummy smile. It’s also a go-to procedure for preparing a tooth that’s been damaged or decayed below the gum line, making sure your new crown or filling has a strong, secure base.

What happens during a crown lengthening procedure?

The magic happens under local anaesthetic, where we gently re-contour your gums to reveal more of your tooth. You’ll notice a difference right away, and as your gums heal, the full effect will take shape, leaving you with a beautifully framed smile that’s ready for its close-up!
