Aesthetic Dentistry Solana Beach

Functional Crown Lengthening Procedure

• Comprehensive Examination – Our experienced periodontist will thoroughly examine your oral health, including evaluating the condition of your gums, teeth, and underlying bone structure. This assessment helps determine if functional crown lengthening is the right treatment for you.
• Treatment Planning – After diagnosing your needs, our periodontist will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique situation. We will explain the procedure in detail, addressing any concerns or questions.
• Local Anesthesia – A local anesthetic will be administered to numb the treatment area to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. We prioritize your well-being and take every step necessary to minimize discomfort during the treatment.
• Tissue Reshaping – Using precise techniques, our skilled periodontist will carefully remove excess gum and bone tissue to expose an ideal amount of tooth structure. This process helps create a healthier gumline and provides a solid foundation for future restorative treatments.
• Tissue Contouring – After repositioning the gumline, our periodontist will sculpt the tissue to achieve a harmonious balance between your teeth and gums. This step enhances the overall aesthetics of your smile and creates a natural-looking result.
• Post-Procedure Care – Following the procedure, our dental team will provide detailed instructions on caring for the treated area to promote proper healing. We may prescribe medication or recommend specific oral hygiene practices to ensure a successful recovery.
