Teeth misalignment has a detrimental effect on the appearance of a person’s mouth and teeth. One of the most important factors that cause inconsistencies in the height of the teeth is the improper size of the tooth crown. The crown of the tooth can be broken or cracked due to malnutrition or poor oral hygiene. Any damage to the crown of the teeth can not only affect the chewing process, but also one’s beautiful smile; Because unlike tooth root, the tooth crown is visible.

One of the ways to solve such dental problems is surgery to increase the length of the tooth crown, which makes the tooth crown look higher. Crown lengthening surgery will be useful for people who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their teeth due to the short length of the crown. In this article from Amitis Dental Clinic, we will fully explain the crown lengthening procedure.

What is crown lengthening surgery?

Crown lengthening surgery, which is one of the best ways to increase the length of the crown, preserves decayed, fractured, or cracked teeth in the month and lowers the risk of tooth extraction as well. To perform this surgery, the dentist cuts part of the gums and tooth bone so that parts of the tooth are more exposed and visible. In this case, the dentist can perform other procedures. For example, if the tooth is infected or decayed, it is possible to restore and treat the decayed tooth, or if the person has genetically short teeth (a large portion of the gums is covering the tooth surface), the dentist can Remove the extra gums and increase the length of the tooth crown.

Crown Lengthening Procedure

Before the surgery, the dentist anesthetizes the gums and teeth so that the pain does not bother the patient. The next step is for the dentist to cut the part of the gum that is on the tooth. This incision should be as much as the dentist has access to dental roots and bone. Sometimes there is no need to shave the tooth bone and the desired result is achieved by removing the gum tissue. The dentist decides about this when the gum tissue is removed and dental bone and root are exposed. Next, the dentist may remove only a part of the gum tissue. It is also possible to remove a few millimeters of bone around the root of the tooth. After doing this, the dentist thoroughly rinses and cleans the incision using disinfectants. The gums should then be sutured to prevent bleeding. If the wound site is properly cared for after crown lengthening surgery, stitches can be removed after seven days.

Recovery Process of Crown Lengthening Surgery

In general, recovering from crown lengthening surgery does not take long, but the most important thing is to take care properly in the first few days after surgery. Having a proper diet is one of the most important things to observe after the surgery. It is advised to eat soft foods for a few days and avoid dry and hard foods that may damage the tooth. Consuming hot foods and hot drinks is harmful to you, eat as many cold drinks as possible. Consumption of cold drinks and foods causes the gums to accelerate recovery and prevents bleeding. Another thing to keep in mind when eating is to avoid spicy and sticky foods; These foods can damage the wound. In addition, sticky foods can stick to the wound and cause you problems. The dentist may dress the wound; So try not to use toothbrushes and floss for a few days. Chlorhexidine antiseptic mouthwash, most likely prescribed by your dentist, can be helpful for the first 7 days. If you cannot use a lot of mouthwash, you can put some of it on a cotton swab or sterile cotton and apply it to the dressing. Smoking is also harmful to you and can slow down the wound healing process and in some cases cause infection at the wound site.
