For many people, a bright, beautiful smile is part of feeling confident and at ease. However, when excessive gum tissue overshadows teeth, it can leave patients feeling self-conscious. A gummy smile, where more of the gum line is visible than the teeth, can disrupt the natural balance of your facial aesthetics.
Thankfully, crown lengthening offers a trusted, effective solution. At Dr. Aaron T. Ward Periodontics and Dental Implants in South Ogden, UT, this advanced periodontal procedure is performed with precision and artistry, transforming not only your smile, but also your confidence.
Crown lengthening is a cosmetic periodontal procedure used to reshape the gum and bone level to expose more natural tooth structure. Whether it's for a singular tooth or an entire smile makeover, this treatment provides a more harmonious balance between teeth and gums.
While ideal for those struggling with a gummy smile, the procedure can also help when a restoration such as a crown or bridge requires more tooth structure for proper placement. The key goals of crown lengthening include:
Correcting a gummy smile can make a dramatic difference in your overall appearance. The procedure not only lengthens the visible tooth but also redefines the entire smile line. Patients often find their teeth look more proportionate, youthful, and bright after treatment. Aesthetic transformations typically involve:
With Dr. Ward’s customized approach in South Ogden, crown lengthening is tailored to your facial anatomy and smile goals, providing natural, lasting results that blend function with aesthetics.
While many people seek out crown lengthening for cosmetic reasons, the procedure serves crucial functional purposes as well. In cases where decay or a fracture occurs below the gumline, crown lengthening exposes enough tooth structure to allow for proper restoration. This preserves otherwise compromised teeth. Functional benefits often include:
This blend of form and function makes crown lengthening a versatile option for enhancing both oral health and the appearance of your smile.
