Crown Lengthening in San Ramon, CA
What Is Crown Lengthening?
Dr. Rupam Khanna is skilled at crown lengthening to improve the appearance and health of your teeth. Crown lengthening can come off as an odd name to some since it sounds like it entails adding material to the tooth. A more precise term is crown exposure because some of the gum tissue is cut away to show more of the tooth. You might want crown lengthening for cosmetic reasons if you'd like to improve a "gummy" smile. It might also be needed if not enough of your tooth is visible to support a crown, filling, or another restoration. If you would like more information, please schedule an appointment at San Ramon Family Dental in San Ramon, CA.
How Does Crown Lengthening Work?
To begin the procedure, a numbing agent is used on the needed areas to minimize your discomfort. You may discuss other sedation methods with Dr. Khanna at your consultation to help you stay comfortable and calm throughout the process. After your mouth is ready, your gum tissue will be cut away to gradually reveal more of your teeth, and then the gumline will be shaped for an even look. As soon as Dr. Khanna completes the crown lengthening procedure, she will close the gums and clean your mouth.
What Are the Benefits of Crown Lengthening?
