Aesthetic and Functional Crown Lengthening at Able Family Dental
Crown lengthening is a versatile dental procedure that can address both aesthetic and functional needs. At Able Family Dental, we offer this service to help improve the appearance of a gummy smile or to provide the necessary tooth exposure for dental restorations like crowns and fillings. Our skilled dental team in Lethbridge ensures your crown lengthening procedure is handled with the utmost care for a comfortable and effective treatment.
Why Crown Lengthening Might Be Necessary
Crown lengthening is not just about appearance. It is often recommended when there’s insufficient tooth structure for a restoration. By removing excess gum and sometimes bone tissue, we expose more of the tooth, allowing for a more secure and longer-lasting dental restoration.
Aesthetic Benefits of Crown Lengthening
Patients looking to reduce a gummy smile and create a more balanced, natural-looking smile can benefit from aesthetic crown lengthening. The procedure helps reveal more of your natural tooth, which can be further enhanced with other cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening or veneers.
Functional Benefits of Crown Lengthening
For dental restorations like crowns or fillings, it’s crucial to have enough tooth structure exposed. Functional crown lengthening at Able Family Dental provides the necessary support for these restorations to last longer and function better. It helps prevent complications like crowns coming loose or causing gum irritation.
Crown lengthening can make a significant difference in both the appearance and function of your teeth. If you’re wondering if crown lengthening is the right choice for you, call us and let’s talk about it – 403-327-7202.
