Crown Lengthening in Agra
At Dr. Verma’s Dental Surgery Clinic in Agra, we provide professional crown lengthening services designed to enhance your dental health and improve your smile aesthetics. Whether it's to prepare for a crown or to reshape a “gummy” smile, this treatment offers precise and lasting results.
What is Crown Lengthening?
Crown lengthening is a periodontal procedure that involves removing excess gum tissue, and in some cases bone, to expose more of the tooth’s surface. This is often necessary for dental restorations or to improve the appearance of your smile.
Why You Might Need Crown Lengthening
- Restore broken teeth: Helps in exposing more of the tooth for crown or filling placement.
- Improve smile aesthetics: Reduces the appearance of a gummy smile.
- Treat deep decay: Allows access to decayed areas below the gum line.
- Dental crown prep: Creates enough room for a stable crown placement.
Our Procedure
- Initial Consultation: We examine your gums and teeth and take X-rays if needed.
- Local Anesthesia: The area is numbed to ensure comfort.
- Tissue Removal: Gum and/or bone is gently removed to uncover more of the tooth.
- Post-Procedure Care: We provide care instructions and schedule follow-ups for healing.
Aftercare & Recovery
- Minor swelling or sensitivity is common.
- Ice packs and pain medications may be advised.
- Maintain oral hygiene without disturbing the surgical site.
- Follow-up visits ensure proper healing and gum health.
