Crown Lengthening
Crown Lengthening in Thomson, Singapore
What Is Crown Lengthening?
Crown lengthening is a minor surgical procedure that removes excess gum tissue (and sometimes bone) to expose more of the natural tooth structure. It is commonly performed for both cosmetic enhancements and restorative dental procedures like crowns, bridges, or veneers.
Who Needs Crown Lengthening?
Crown lengthening may be recommended for individuals who:
✔️ Have excess gum tissue covering their teeth (gummy smile)
✔️ Need more tooth structure exposed to support a crown or filling
✔️ Have decay or damage below the gum line
✔️ Want to improve the proportions of their smile
Procedure for Crown Lengthening
At Dental Clinic Thomson, our crown lengthening procedure typically involves:
-
Initial Assessment – We examine the teeth and gums using digital X-rays.
-
Local Anaesthesia – To ensure the procedure is painless and comfortable.
-
Gum Reshaping – The dentist gently removes excess gum tissue and, if needed, some bone.
-
Shaping the Gumline – The gum is contoured to create a more even and natural appearance.
-
Post-Op Care – Sutures are placed if required, and healing usually takes a few weeks.
We use minimally invasive tools and laser technology (when applicable) for faster recovery and better cosmetic outcomes.
