THE IMPORTANCE OF CROWN LENGTHENING
- It's essential for patients who need a dental restoration but don't have enough tooth exposed above the gum line.
- It can significantly improve the appearance of a "gummy" smile, where teeth appear short because of excessive gum tissue.
THE BENEFITS OF CROWN LENGTHENING
- Aesthetic Improvement: Enhances the appearance of your smile by balancing the proportions of gum to tooth visibility.
- Restorative Readiness: Creates the necessary space and structure for future dental restorations, such as crowns or bridges.
- Health and Hygiene: Removing excess gum tissue can make it easier to clean the teeth and gums, reducing the risk of periodontal disease.
- Personalized Care: Our team tailors the procedure to your specific needs, ensuring results that not only look natural but also complement your overall facial aesthetics.
OUR CROWN LENGTHENING PROCESS
- Initial Consultation: We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your dental health and aesthetic goals.
- Custom Treatment Planning: Each crown lengthening procedure is customized to meet the unique needs and desired outcomes of our patients.
- Advanced Technique Application: Utilizing the latest dental technologies and techniques, we carefully reshape the gum and bone tissue to reveal more of the tooth's surface.
- Supportive Aftercare: Following the procedure, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and support to promote quick healing and optimal results.
INSTRUCTIONS FOLLOWING CROWN LENGTHENING
After crown lengthening, expect some pain, bleeding, and swelling, which are typical post-surgery. Avoid disturbing the surgical area or engaging in forceful rinsing and spitting. Use a gauze pad to control bleeding for the first 30 minutes, and follow all medication and mouth rinse instructions closely. Resume careful oral hygiene with a soft toothbrush in the treated area, avoiding floss and strong rinses for a week. Manage swelling with a cloth-covered cold compress for the first 36 hours, then moist heat. Stay hydrated, steer clear of harsh foods, tobacco, and alcohol, and minimize physical activity for 2-3 days. If a surgical bandage was applied, allow it to detach naturally before gently cleaning the area.

I’m looking forward to the exceptional care demonstrated so far.


I had my surgery done in December 2023, and even now, almost 2 years later, Dr. Hotait continues to be incredibly supportive. He’s always available for checkups, answers any questions quickly, and genuinely cares about his patients long after the procedure is done. The quality of his work and his dedication to his patients are unmatched.
If you’re considering dental implants, Smile-Haus is the place to go. You won’t find a more skilled, attentive, and trustworthy doctor than Dr. Hotait!
